1976 Heitz Cellar Bella Oaks Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon [D99]

Producer: Heitz Wine Cellar  Region: Napa Valley, California Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon Year: 1976  Decanter, 99 Points  "Nearly half a century old, this surprisingly youthful wine from a vintage plagued with drought and hydric stress is no less than a masterpiece. Extraordinarily enduring for a wine sourced from three-year-old vines, it's penetrating and pure still, redolent of dried blossoms, burnt caramel and graphite. Blackberry and black cherry flavours are delicate but sonorous, etched with liquorice and dried mint—a thrilling wine with languid wisps of tannins and holding power to spare."  Alcohol: 13.5%  *Discounts do not apply to items like this one in the Fine & Rare category.
