Tasting Notes

Heitz Napa Cabernet 2021 shows pure red cherry, redcurrant, red plum, black cherry, blackberry, blackcurrant, violet, mint, underbrush, dark cocoa, bitter chocolate, dried herbs, black olive, graphite, tobacco, singed cedar, and iron. The palate is full-bodied, focused, and vibrant, with plush mouthfeel, firm mineral-rich tannins, fine integrated structure, bright acidity, and a savory fruit-driven finish.

Food Paring

Pair this classic Napa Cabernet with grilled steak, prime rib, braised short ribs, lamb, or roasted mushrooms to complement its firm tannins, bright acidity, and savory cedar detail. It is also a refined choice for aged cheddar, herb-crusted roast beef, and steakhouse-style sides when you want an elegant Cabernet with freshness and structure.

Professional Reviews

99 Decanter

"Remarkably pure and fresh. Pristine black cherry and blackberry, layered with beautiful violet aromas. Everything builds with precision and focus, supported by gorgeously firm, taut, mineral-rich tannins that bring energy and drive. The wine is compact and tightly wound at this youthful stage, its intensity truly emblematic of the vintage."

94 James Suckling

"Dark fruit aromas of blackberries, bitter chocolate, dried herbs, blackcurrants, black olives and graphite. The palate is full-bodied with a textural, rounded mouthfeel and finely integrated tannins, leading to a savory, fruit-driven finish."

94 Wine Spectator

"Ripe, fresh and focused, offering a lovely beam of red currant and plum coulis alongside savory, violet, tobacco and singed cedar hints. Finishes with a late twang of iron."

93 Vinous

"The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is fabulous. Plump and vibrant, with good up-front fruit and bright acids, the 2021 captures the essence of modern classicism that is typical of the Heitz wines today. This is a superb entry-level offering from Heitz. Floral overtones brighten the finish."
