| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\n\r\n\r\nThe palate of the 2016 Lot C-91 exhibits the density and length that only the truly great wines of the world are capable of. The soft expression of red and black fruits are a result of harvesting earlier while the fruit is still fresh and vibrant and having patience as the wine undergoes one of the longest aging regimens in the region. A clear differentiation between the Napa Valley Cabernet and the Lot C-91 is the presence of savory elements such as sage, rosemary, cured meats, and black pepper. This patient approach allows for the integration of tannin, alcohol, acidity, and fruit. The result is a wine of incredible complexity and harmony, that is true to the place it comes from.\r\nWine Spectator 93 Points\r\nAbout Heitz Cellars\r\nFamily owned since its founding in 1961, Heitz Cellar\u2019s legacy runs as deep as the roots throughout the Napa Valley; a winery legend that has helped shape the history of Napa Valley winemaking. In the late 1950\u2019s, pioneering vintner Joe Heitz ushered in Napa\u2019s modern era with his iconic, globally celebrated wines, including Napa Valley\u2019s first vineyard-designated Cabernet Sauvignon, the renowned Heitz Cellar Martha\u2019s Vineyard. Fifty-eight years of the Heitz family\u2019s dedication to viticulture, stewardship, and classic winemaking, maintained the winery\u2019s notoriety as a benchmark amongst its peers in California and Europe.\r\nIn April, 2018, Heitz Cellar entered an exciting new chapter as this rich legacy was passed into the hands of the Lawrence family, whose deep roots in agriculture and commitment to the same core values of fine winemaking made it a perfect match. The wines are made with an unwavering commitment to quality from organically farmed, 100% Napa Valley fruit, and a commitment to the sustainability of Napa Valley.\r\nOur prized estate vineyards are planted in six of Napa Valley\u2019s sub-appellations: Oakville, Rutherford, St. Helena, Howell Mountain, Oak Knoll District, and Calistoga, giving us an incredible breadth of diversity in terroir, allowing us to craft wines that are a pure representation of place. Their roots keep us grounded to the entirety of Napa Valley and at the same time, keep us mindful of our responsibility to maintain a sustainable environment. We are proud to be a leader in agricultural stewardship as 100% of our vineyards are grown certified Ccof organic, with a move towards biodynamic farming in the near future.\r\nWe at Heitz Cellar cherish our history and legacy, with a full commitment to our vision and goals to maintain the winery\u2019s heritage. |
