At first the 2016 Heitz Cellar Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon feels cool and composed, then layers of black cherry, plum and dark currant roll in, edged by herbal lift and a gentle cocoa-like depth. The palate is concentrated yet beautifully straight-lined, with very fine tannins and a long, savory finish that keeps the fruit humming rather than shouting. It’s a refined, classically built Napa Cabernet that shows its pedigree through precision more than power.
