Heitz Cellar - Cabernet Sauvignon 'Martha's Vineyard' 2018

Founded in 1961, Heitz Cellar’s legacy runs as deep as the roots throughout the Napa Valley; a winery legend that has helped shape the history of Napa Valley winemaking. In the late 1950’s, pioneering vintner Joe Heitz ushered in Napa’s modern era with his iconic, globally celebrated wines, including Napa Valley’s first vineyard-designated Cabernet Sauvignon, the renowned Heitz Cellar Martha’s Vineyard.  The wines are made with an unwavering commitment to quality from organically farmed, 100% Napa Valley fruit, and a commitment to the sustainability of Napa Valley. Located at the base of the Mayacamas mountains, Martha’s Vineyard’s gradual slope to the valley floor provides us with exquisite well-drained soil. 60% new oak for the single-vineyard bottlings. Ferments are long and cool to preserve fruit while avoiding harsh extraction. Uniquely for Napa the wines are pressed before dryness into large uprights where they undergo malolactic fermentation before going into barrel approximatel
