JAMES SUCKLING: "Lovely aromas of blackcurrants and dark chocolate with hints of flowers. Ever so subtle. Medium full body, firm and silky tannins and a juicy finish. Shows tension and focus. Drink or hold."

DECANTER: "Heitz´s Napa Valley Cabernet reveals aromas of red plum, creamy cassis, tobacco and pencil shaving. On the palate the wine is fresh and savoury, with refined tannins (after a three-year elevage) and good concentration. One of the better values in California Cabernet."

WINE SPECTATOR: "Juicy and relatively open in feel for a young Cabernet, with light sage and singed cedar notes out front, followed by bramble, currant preserve and bitter plum paste flavors. Roasted juniper details line the finish, giving this a slightly grippier feel in the end. Best from 2020 through 2032. 31,800 cases made. — JM"
