Heitz Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon is a full-bodied and complex red wine that boasts deep flavors of dark fruit, cedar, and cocoa. This wine is deeply rooted in the terroir of Napa Valley, where each grape is hand-picked and carefully fermented in oak barrels. The resulting wine is intense and elegant, with a long finish and smooth tannins. This quality Cabernet Sauvignon has been aged for up to three years before release, allowing the wine to reach its full potential. Ideal for pairing with hearty meats and bold cheeses, this wine is a true testament to the excellence of Californian winemaking.

Tasting Notes

Attractive red berries and licorice in this medium-bodied cabernet. There’s handy freshness and detailed red plums and black currants and a smooth, fine and juicy feel to the finish

About the Winery

Heitz Cellar is a renowned wine producer from California located in Napa Valley. The winery remains situated in a place east of St. Helena town.

The estate got established by Alice and Joseph (Joe) Heitz in 1961. They did so during Prohibition. At that time, the population and number of wineries in the Napa Valley reduced significantly. Only about two dozen wine estates could survive and stay in operation, with Heitz Cellar being one of them. For that reason, it is no exaggeration to say that its legacy runs almost as deep as the roots of the wine industry in Napa Valley.

Heitz Cellar has remained a family-owned winery since its establishment. However, it has become a legend in the wine business over the years. Furthermore, the winery served as one of the most significant factors that shaped the winemaking history of Napa Valley. Around the end of the 1950s, Joe Heitz, a pioneering vintner, ushered the winemaking industry of Napa Valley into a modern era. He did so with his globally-celebrated and iconic wines. It included the initial vineyard-designated grape variety of Cabernet Sauvignon of the region.

The Heitz family has remained dedicated to stewardship, classic winemaking, and viticulture. They have done so for fifty-eight years. They have increased the winery’s fame to a level where it serves as a benchmark among its peers in Europe and California.

In April of 2008, Heitz Cellar stepped into an exciting and new chapter of its legacy. It changed hands and went under the ownership of the Lawrence family. The family had their roots deep into the art and business of agriculture. They have worked with a commitment to producing high-quality wines.

Today, the wines produced by Heitz Cellar get made with organically-farmed grapevines with a sustainable approach throughout all the processes.
