2021 Heimark Cabernet Sauvignon | Napa Valley California 750ml

A big, dramatic Cabernet, the 2021 races across the palate with an exotic melange of black cherry, gravel, incense, tobacco and scorched earth. This hillside site at 1400-1600 feet in elevation, above Calistoga, yields wines of true distinction. There are tremendous power and sheer thrust here, not to mention tons of personality. | Antonio Galloni for Vinous

Heimark is like the Pauillac of Napa Valley, with a lot of sophisticated tannins. | Philippe Melka

The 2021 vintage marked the second consecutive year of record-low rainfall, with our vineyard receiving less than 8 inches from January to March. The resulting growing season, however, proved to be spectacular. An early start was followed by plenty of sunshine and mostly warm but not-too-hot conditions. We experienced a few heat spikes in June and later in the summer, but overall, the growing conditions spoke to a terrific vintage.
This Cabernet Sauvignon is a full-bodied wine with rich, generous tannins. Savory notes of dried herbs and licorice, and a firm minerality, are complemented with intense black fruits of cherry and fresh blueberries, along with floral notes of lavender and incense, and a long lingering finish. 670 cases produced. | Heimark Vineyards

Heimark Vineyard is a celebration of the fruit exclusively sourced from our family-owned vineyard. The family vineyard is located in Dutch Henry Canyon on the east side of the Silverado Trail...The site rests upon an ancient landslide framed by forest, overlooking the valley floor. Misty mountain mornings and golden sunsets reward the southwest-facing sloped vineyard, creating a distinct microclimate. | Heimark
