On the palate, this is a wine of monumental proportions that is nonetheless elegant. Explosions of dark fruit flavor are beautifully balanced with silky tannins. This has all the hallmarks of being one of the great vintages to come from this historic vineyard. It is ready to be enjoyed now and will thrive with proper cellaring for many years of pleasure.
Our Napa Valley Cabernet has impressed wine enthusiasts since we produced the first bottle in 1961. Superbly crafted from estate-grown grapes, this popular wine is consistently noted for incredible flavor that exemplifies 100% of the varietal. Tasting Notes: Taste the elegance of Heitz 2010 Napa Valley Cabernet in its layers of rich varietal fruit which have slowly been aged to perfection in French oak. A generous burst of blackberry flavors is softly framed with notes of fresh currant. Silky tannins give this Cabernet a solid backbone, weaving the flavors into a smooth, harmonious finish. This is a wine with plenty of delicious fruit for those who want to drink it now, and for those with a bit more time, it is well-built for cellaring.
