Lot C-91 Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

I think this is much better than their regular Napa Valley bottling and worth the $20 premium.

The nose showcases the classic Napa fruits from a great vintage with blackberry, plum, cassis, cedar, vanilla, and touches of fresh herbs and menthol. The palate is supple yet lively, more about balance and proportion than power and depth. Quite elegant. Silky tannins.

Sounds lovely! I’ve been wanting to try Heitz, as I’ve read their style is more ‘classic’. Sounds like the C-91 may be a good starting point.

@Joel Lara I think their regular Napa Valley bottling would also be a good introduction to their style of winemaking. However, I have not tasted any vintages after 2018, a year when the winery was sold. Hopefully the new owner keeps the tradition.

C. de Pinots Brut 1er Cru Champagne Blend

A 50/50 blend of Pinot Noir and (Pinot) Meunier; mostly sourced from the 2011 vintage (40%) with the balance from 2010 and 2009.

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The C. de Pinots NV pours a straw color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe apple, toasted brioche, split almonds and lemon bar and spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. The DNA is there and showing a slightly more oxidative style. Drink now. Disgorged July 2016.

C. de Nature Zero Dosage 1er Cru Champagne Blend

A bit too direct and rocky for me. Definitely a style. It was bracing and the acid high. It did have an interesting nose of terroir — 7 years ago
