Tasting note
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon should present blackcurrant, dark cherry and plum, with a restrained herbal scent adding definition. The 2023 Heimark Vineyard bottling is expected to have a dense, youthful palate, its tannins firm and acidity bright enough to trace a steady path through the fruit. The listed window opens in 2028, with peak years from 2030 through 2045 and a horizon to 2053; anticipate a long, dry finish that grows more savory with air.
