Heitz - Martha`s Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

James Suckling: "Intense aromas of mint, eucalyptus, dark berries, currants and redwood. Citrus peel to boot. Full-bodied, layered and very pretty with silky tannins and a juicy finish. Tight and subtle. Retro cool. From organically grown grapes. Beautiful now to drink."

Decanter: "The just-released vintage of Martha's Vineyard is another youthful classic from Heitz, bursting with notes of black cherry, mint chocolate, cigar box and spice. On the palate the wine is ample, concentrated and fresh, with more intensity and drive than many of the supple wines this easygoing vintage produced. Its inherent complexity needs time to unfurl."

Wine Enthusiast: "This tremendous 100% varietal wine hails from Oakville and was aged over three years in oak. Juicy red-cherry fruit and a compelling hint of caramel greet the palate, framed by elegant, fine tannins and a subtle minty tone in the background. Balanced and rewarding from start to finish, it has years ahead of it to develop further nuance. Enjoy 2022–2030."

Falstaff: "Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezenter Ockerrand. Rotbeeriges und intensives Bukett nach Gewürznelken, floraler Touch, ein Hauch von Zitronengras, individuelles Bukett. Stoffig, rotbeerige Frucht, zart nach Hibiskus, markante, straffe Tannine, lebendig im Abgang, mineralisch, sehr individueller Stil."
