Heitz Cellar Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2015 (75cl, 14.5%)

Heitz Cellar Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2015 is a single-vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from Oakville, produced from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grown from the exclusive Martha's Clone. Heitz Cellar was founded in 1961 by Joe Heitz. The wine is aged for three years in hand-selected, 100% new French Limousin oak wide-grain barrels, followed by an additional year of bottle aging before release. The aroma leads with eucalyptus, then ripe plum, blackberry coulis, menthol, sassafras, dark licorice and fresh herbs. The palate is juicy and ripe, with exotic plum and blackberry fruit, charred earth, fresh herbs and dark licorice. The finish is explosive and long, with black fruits, herbal notes, mineral undertones and a silken texture carrying eucalyptus.
