Heitz Cellars Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

The iconic Heitz Cabernet is farmed sustainably and certified organic. It is harvested from vineyards spanning six sub-appellations throughout the Napa Valley, Heitz Cabernet Sauvignon offers a full composition of the breadth of Napa Valley as a whole. From the fertile soils of western Oakville to the recognizable terroir known as “Rutherford Dust”, to the mountain grown fruit atop the rugged Howell Mountain, their remarkable vineyards are each unique, but when combined, provide a palette of site-specific characteristics that are the essence of Napa Valley.

“I personally love this wine for its classic expression of true Napa Valley terroir. As a winemaker, the ability to use the incredible variety of our own vineyards to create this wine is one of the things I look forward to most each year.” – Brittany Sherwood, Winemaker. 

Family owned since its founding 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. Fifty-eight years of the Heitz family’s dedication to viticulture, stewardship, and classic winemaking, maintained the winery’s notoriety as a benchmark amongst its peers in California and Europe.In April, 2018, Heitz Cellar entered an exciting new chapter as this rich legacy was passed into the hands of the Lawrence family, whose deep roots in agriculture and commitment to the same core values of fine winemaking made it a perfect match. 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.
