Heitz Cellar Description
This pedigreed vineyard showcases the 2018 vintage with its classic bouquet of ripe, black fruit reminiscent of blackberry, sweet plum, and classic. Notes of bay leaf, mint, and eucalyptus add aromatic intrigue and complexity to this wine, which is complemented by a structure only achievable in the highest-quality vintages. This iconic vintage of Martha's Vineyard has a softness yet wit a firm presence and a finish that leaves and unforgettable impression.
Wine Spectator: 96 Points
This red brims with dark currant, cherry and loganberry fruit, but you have to work through a lush swath of menthol to get there, all while notes of sweet tobacco and a hint of loam run underneath. Fine-grained, with a lingering twang of iron, this has all it requires for a lengthy cellar run, yet needs to meld a bit more.
Wine Advocate: 96 Points
In a vintage that played to its strengths, the terrific 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Martha's Vineyard is a cool, gently herbal wine, loaded with black cherries and cassis, with just a touch of licorice. It's medium to full-bodied, rich and velvety without being heavy at all, concentrated and intense, with a long, tannic but ripe finish.
