Wine Spectator Review
Rated 94
Well-built, with a tar and apple wood frame that melds nicely with the core of dark currant and plum sauce. Shows a sleek graphite-edged structure, which provides the spine with flecks of violet and hibiscus, adding floral lift in the background. Solid. Best from 2024 through 2040.
Wine Tasting Notes
Perched atop Howell Mountain, Linda Falls Vineyard has a unique topography that allows it to deliver a distinct expression of mountain terroir in our classic Heitz style. The vineyard sits at roughly 1,500 feet above sea level with an abundance of volcanic material in the soil and bedrock. These conditions create an environment where Cabernet Sauvignon struggles and develops much thicker skins than we see from valley floor fruit. Heitz Cellars Linda Falls Vineyard Howell Mt. Napa Cabernet showcases aromas of black and ripe blue fruit, sage, and damp pine blanketing the forest floor, all supported by a firm yet soft tannin structure that lingers on the palate after each taste. Aged for three years in the cellar followed by two years in bottle, this wine is drinking beautifully now and will continue to reward for the next 15+ years.
