94pts James Suckling

A medium-bodied cabernet that achieves a good, lively balance. Red and black cherry, dark chocolate, black olive and spearmint flavors on moderate tannins. Good freshness. Drink now or hold.

The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is beautiful. Sensual, open-knit and inviting, the 2022 has so much to offer. Crushed flowers, sweet red-toned fruit, white pepper and spice are very nicely lifted. This mid-weight, beautifully pliant Cabernet will be impossible to resist in its youth. Stylistically, the Napa Valley Cabernet feels just a touch riper than the other wines in the range.

Winemaker Notes

The Heitz Cellar Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from our vineyards throughout the Napa Valley, with components of each contributing different sensory attributes to the final blend. The purpose behind the Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is to create a wine that is representative of Napa Valley and to highlight all the qualities that make this area one of the world's premier wine growing regions. We continue to craft this wine to be a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon blend and made in the signature Heitz style to be fresh, elegantly structured, and built with the option for aging or enjoying upon release.
