Heitz Cellar 1987 Cabernet Sauvignon

94 pts

A top-notch Napa. Having had the 93 Heitz, this was even better. Its youthful power had evolved into a wine more regal and elegant, without losing vibrancy.

Distinctive nose of bell pepper, green in a pleasant way. Palate retained the right level of acid and black fruit sweetness, and strong tannins had integrated beautifully. A real treat to taste 80s Heitz. June 2024
