Heimark Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 750ml

Vinous Anthony Galloni 97 Points:The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon comes across as quite closed following its bottling a few months ago. This feels a bit lighter than the 2018. Some of that may be attributable to the year, or perhaps a shift to one of the blocks on the property with Clone 337 Cabernet, which often yields wines with red/purplish fruit character and pronounced floral nuances. Thats not a bad thing though, as the 2019 is an especially refined, understated wine. I imagine it will come alive beautifully with a few years in the bottle. My most recent tasting suggests that is already starting to happen. The 2019 is a total stunner.

Winemaker Notes:The aromatics of the 2019 Heimark Cabernet Sauvignon are slow to unfold. Yet after some time in the glass, notes of anise, clove, wild thyme, and dusty dried sage emerge, giving way to a strong vein of minerality that, in turn, ushers in dark, brooding aromas of blackberry and mulberry.
