Tasting Note

The palate of the 2016 Lot C-91 exhibits the density and length that only the truly great wines of the world are capable of. The soft expression of red and black fruits are a result of harvesting earlier while the fruit is still fresh and vibrant and having patience as the wine undergoes one of the longest aging regimens in the region. A clear differentiation between the Napa Valley Cabernet and the Lot C-91 is the presence of savory elements such as sage, rosemary, cured meats, and black pepper. This patient approach allows for the integration of tannin, alcohol, acidity, and fruit. The result is a wine of incredible complexity and harmony, that is true to the place it comes from.

Product Notes

Heitz Cellar LOT C-91 Cabernet Sauvignon is an outstanding wine that radiates complexity, balance, and elegance. The grapes are sourced from the Oakville AVA in the Napa Valley, where the deep soils and warm climate allow the grapes to reach the perfect ripeness level. The wine is aged for 30 months in French oak barrels, which confer a subtle spiciness and vanilla notes. On the palate, one can taste the rich and bold flavors of blackberry, cassis, and plum, along with the full-bodied structure and firm tannins that ensure great aging potential. The finish is long and luxurious, with a hint of dark chocolate and espresso. Overall, this is a masterpiece of California Cabernet Sauvignon that fully deserves its iconic status.
