| 2012 Heitz Wine Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley Napa Valley, California WB Rating: 88 Alcohol by volume: 14.5% Price at time of purchase: $49.99 (K&L) Type: Cabernet / Bordeaux Principal varietal(s): Cabernet Sauvignon Soft-knit, warmly rich Cabernet that reminded me a bit of the old-time Silver Oak Cabernets before Silver Oak over-expanded. Coats the mouth nicely with ripe Cabernet fruit - dark berries, dark currants, dark plums - along with some spicy oak and violet floral nuances. Easy to like though it lacks the structural backbone that could elevate its rating. Absolutely ready to drink at age 5; I wouldn't hold this one for the long term. - HK 2017-10-23 [Back] |
