Heitz Wine Cellars Napa Valley 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon, $51.62-$71.99, 93 points, poured an opaque cranberry red with violet highlights, fat hanging legs, and a thin silver meniscus.
A lovely bouquet of cedar, mulling spices, a floral perfume, ripe mulberry, and rich red fruit were outstanding.
Not quite a full-bodied red wine, Heitz Wine Cellars Napa Valley 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon showed well with a round mouth-feel, good acidity, firm underlayment of tannin, and concentrated flavors of spearmint, white pepper, and red raspberry with nuanced citrus, oak, and black cherry.
Finished very long on the trailing palate and a spiced infused 14.5% alcohol.
As usual Heitz is more a Left-bank Bordeaux-like cab than a Cali cab, and that's just fine with me.
Paired well with my spice-rubbed rib eye steak.
