Cabenet Sauvignon: Originally of French origins, this versatile grape produces exceptional wines around the globe. It's usually medium to full bodied with a fine structure that supports black and red fruit flavors with typical notes of olive, chili and herbs that add complexity.

Winemakers Notes

Notes on the Heitz Cellars Marthas Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 1997 93 Pts W Spec : WINE SPECTATOR REVIEW: 93 POINTS Cellar SelectionA dark, dense, richly flavored wine, with tiers of currant, mint, blackberry, sage and mineral. Packs in lots of stuffing while maintaining a sense of fine balance and elegance. Long and persistent flavors on the finish, with firm yet well-integrated tannins. Could be a long-ager. Honoring its late winemaker and founder Joe Heitz, this is a fairly dramatic youngster made from young vines. No shyness on the price; longtime collectors would do well read more...to check this one out. Best from 2004 through 2014. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 5,620 cases made. (JL) Issue: Jun 15, 2002WINE ADVOCATE REVIEW: 90 POINTS This wine exhibits a dense ruby/purple color as well as sweet tannin, and copious black currant fruit intermixed with soil undertones and licorice. The wine is medium to full-bodied, pure, ripe, and nicely-textured with a long finish.Heitz Wine Cellars has followed their impressive 1996 with this equally splendid special commemorative cuvee honoring the late Joe Heitz. The famed minty/eucalyptus character found in older vintages of Martha's Vineyard is submerged by the depth of fruit possessed by the 1997. It will improve and age for 15+ years.Drink: 2002-2017Wine Advocate #141 (Jun 2002)Robert ParkerHEITZ CELLARS MARTHAS VINEYARD CABERNET SAUVIGNON NAPA VALLEY 1997 93 PTS W SPEC    (hide)
