Wine Spectator

“This throws off an overt and alluring mint aroma, while sweet bay leaf, violet, damson plum, red tea and steeped griottenotes all glide through together, carried by remarkably fine-grained tannins. Ends with a gentle echo of mint on the finish, while a subtle minerality chimes through as well. A stylish and suave wine, with plenty of charm now, but also pristine balance for cellaring. Best from 2022 through 2038." 95 Points, #3 Top 100 Wines of 2021 WS”

Wine Advocate

“The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Martha's Vineyard barely hints at eucalyptus on the nose, with much more emphasis given to black cherries and cassis. This is full-bodied and rich, nicely balancing richness and texture against linear shape and focus and picking up hints of blueberries and spice on the long, mouthwatering finish. With 112 barrels having been bottled, there's a fair bit of this wine to go around, if one can afford it.”

About This Wine

More about 2016 Heitz Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Martha's Vineyard is one of the most prized vineyards in all of Napa Valley, boasting some of the New World's longest-lasting, alluring Cabernet Sauvignons, capable of 100 point scores. Heitz has had a contract with Martha's Vineyard since 1966, after Tom and Martha May, founders of Martha's Vineyard, tasted Heitz Cabernet and were so impressed with the quality, they sealed a deal with their precious fruit. Located on Oakville Bench bordering To-Kalon and below Harlan and BOND wineries, Martha's Vineyard is fringed with eucalyptus trees believed to be the source of the wine's signature minty, menthol character that makes it so memorable. The 2016 release is powerfully complex and loaded with the Vineyard's hallmark savory undertones and is an absolute classic.
