Heitz - Martha`s Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

James Suckling: "Violets and blue fruits. Thai mint and basil. Full-bodied, very tight and long. Tangy and beautiful. Tight and fresh acidity. Beautiful and so drinkable. From organic grapes. Drink now or hold."

Decanter: "One of Napa Valley´s classics, Martha´s Vineyard is a legendary site in west Oakville at the foot of the Mayacamas Mountains. Heitz´s 2010 rendition opens up with fragrant black fruit, mint chocolate and rich soil tones, revealing supple, layered tannins and bright acidity on the palate. Like all the Heitz wines, this is unmistakably fresh and savoury." Drink: 2020 - 2045.

Wine Enthusiast: "The mighty Martha´s spends three-and-a-half years aging in French Limousin oak barrels. It has years to go, its structure so expertly captured in the bottle, yet still willing to impart a lightness of sage and sarsaparilla, the tannins firm and integrated, with slight hints of cigar, coconut and that ever-famous mint. Drink now through 2025."

Falstaff: "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zarte Kräuterwürze, ein Hauch von Kakao und schwarzem Waldbeerkonfit, etwas Nougat, unterlegt mit Nuancen von Cassis und Brombeeren. Saftig, sehr komplex, verfügt über reife Tannine, leicht würzig, dunkler Schokoladetouch im Abgang, extraktsüß und lange anhaltend, sicheres Reifepotenzial."
