Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Pure menthol and eucalyptus. So unique.

Classic in every way.

fruit pops, but with mushroom soup it explodes! plus wonderful secondary & tertiary nuances

History in a magnum bottle, still alive and enjoyable. #HeitzWineCellars #wine

This is the '86 Martha's Vineyard and it was spectacular. Amazing how these older Martha's have aged. I've tried several throughout the 80s and they've all been fresh and incredibly complex.

Happy New Year! Had to go out with a fun year end wine.

Decant and pour(decent chunky/fine sediment). A majestic dark garnet with bricking. On the nose: Eucalyptus, perfumed red fruit, floral, soil, herbaceous. Taste: silky, creamy, fresh wine with some still there red cherry, tobacco, earthy, shaved graphite, and a peppery cedar long finish. YUM! What a treat to drink as a our final wine this last night of the year.
Cheers!

Only seven bottles of Martha’s Vineyard left. Not the best vintage but still excellent.

Another great drinking older Cali Cab that at 33yrs is still young & fresh showing sweet red fruits & the signature Heitz note of eucalyptus & menthol with earth, leather & tobacco.

I wish all Cali wines would show this well at 31 yrs. So fresh with great acidity & showing that classic eucalyptus.

Always a crowd pleaser.
