all wrapped in an austere and serious finish that is impressively complex and persistent

Heitz Cellar, Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage:2013 all wrapped in an austereHeitz's 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon is predominantly St. Helena fruit, but it includes grapes from other AVAs as well. With its cherry notes and some darker, more cassis like nuances, hints of dried herbs and dusty earth, it's pretty classic old school Cabernet. Medium to full bodied, it's linear, silky and fine, avoiding any sense of jammy excess.
