TN: 1986 Heitz Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon Martha's Vineyard

  • 1986 Heitz Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon Martha’s Vineyard - USA, California, Napa Valley, Oakville (4/1/2012)
    Base neck fill. Splash decanted. Very youthful looking with just a slight touch of orange on the edge. The nose shows cassis, eucalyptus and some cedar/wood spice elements. Very classic nose. The palate is really wonderful, with a lacy elegance married to some deeper berry flavors, fine grained tannins and just the right amount of soft acidity to keep it interesting. Very hard not to drink this up quickly, it really is compelling juice. The finish is shortish however, and fails to linger on the palate like a really great wine would.
