Heitz Cellar Trailside Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Located at the base of the Vaca mountain range along the eastern edge of Rutherford, the Trailside Vineyard captures the heart of Rutherford terroir, vinified in our classic Heitz style. The well-drained volcanic soil of this parcel allows it to convey the essence of the growing season, year after year. 2017 was a warm and concentrated growing season in Napa Valley, and we see this expressed in vibrant notes of ripe red fruit, sage, and thyme. The aromatics are all supported by firm tannins and an elegant finish. Aged for four years in our cellar followed by one year in bottle, this wine was created with your immediate enjoyment in mind and will continue to evolve over the next 20+ years.
