Heitz Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon Martha's Vineyard 2016 750ml

Heitz Cellar's Martha's Vineyard in Oakville is one of Napa Valley's most storied sites; Joe Heitz first bottled it separately in 1966, making it one of the valley's earliest vineyard-designated Cabernets, and its mint and eucalyptus perfume is legendary. The 2016, from an excellent, even Napa season, was named to Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2021 among its collectibles. It offers black cherry, cassis, damson plum, bay leaf, violet and mint, carried by remarkably fine-grained tannins and finishing with blueberry and spice. Wine Spectator called it "a stylish and suave wine." Charming now, it has the balance to age gracefully through the 2040s.
