2009, Heitz Cellars Marthas Vineyard, Cabernet Sauvignon, St. Helena, California, USA, 14.5% Alc, CT91, VN93

93 points Vinous

The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Martha's Vineyard is a relatively immediate Marthas, with a real feeling of mid-palate density and weight that is almost out of character for this estate. Sweet, silky tannins give the 2009 much of its succulence. Scents of mint, pine and eucalyptus wrap around the juicy, inviting finish.
