"This Rutherford vineyard is a sleeper in the Heitz lineup, often caught in the shadow of the legendary Martha’s Vineyard in Oakville, but offering serious value by comparison. This 2001 vintage shows smoky, herbal and iron-driven aromas leading to graphite and pepperoncini flavours. Drinking beautifully at the moment and should continue to evolve for another two decades."
"This was a spectacular performance from this hallowed vineyard as well as one of Napa Valley’s great historic terroirs. Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, it reveals a still youthful personality and will benefit from another 5-7 years of bottle age. An opaque purple color is followed by aromas of graphite, creme de cassis, flowers and background earth as well as spice. The old eucalyptus-filled aromatics of a young Martha’s Vineyard are nowhere to be found as the 2001 is dominated by fruit and earth. Full-bodied and powerful with superb integration of wood, tannin, acidity and alcohol, this large-scaled red is capable of three or more decades of cellaring. It is unquestionably a youthful classic, but it requires patience from its owners. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2035."
"A true-to-form Martha's Vineyard. Enticing chocolate-covered cherry, berry and mint give a complex, distinctive flavor profile. Sleek, elegant and long on the finish, where the flavors turn juicy. 2001 California Cabernet blind retrospective (June 2011). Drink now through 2020. 4,601 cases made."
