Some vegetal/menthol notes on the nose. Another fine but not notable wine. Was hoping for a bit more bite tannic backbone. — 11 hours ago

Plum. Leather, a whiff of butterscotch. Great balance and some blue flower notes. Fading a bit but very good — a month ago

Haven’t had this since 2019, aging fantastically.
As with all other Heitz you need to hold 10-20 years minimum. — 3 months ago

I compare the Heitz Napa to the Joseph Phelps Napa in many ways. I believe the Phelps is slightly less vintage dependent than Heitz. But, this 07 like the vintage in Napa, sensational.

This 2007 is peaking. Perfectly ripe & juicy; brambly blackberries, creamy black raspberries, black plum, dark cherries/kirsch, blueberries come on late and poached strawberries on the edges. The tannins are still dark and tarry. Rich, sweet, dark soils, mid & dark berry cola, anise, steeped black tea, dry tobacco, used leather, cedar/sandalwood, clove, nutmeg, some cinnamon & vanillin, moist, grey volcanic clay, dry crushed rocks, limestone, mid spice, hints of grilled meat, some fresh/dry herds, a tad of eucalyptus, stewy/tumble weed, fresh & withering dark, red, blue florals framed in violets, excellent round acidity, the scope of the finishes encompasses; balance for days, nice structure & tensioned, elegant, polished and lasts two minutes.

Photos all taken around their tasting room on Hwy 29 when their tasting was still the last free tasting in Napa. Still not over the family selling to a corporation that has no wine experience. — a month ago

PnP. Lovely dark red color. Eucalyptus, cedar, caramel, and dark cherries on the nose. A nice sweetness on the palate with nice tannins and complexity. Might have to upgrade my score as this keeps getting better. Medium depth and long finish that has some port on the tail end. — a month ago
