Heitz Cellar
Lot C-91 Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
History began in 1969 when the only vintage from this legendary lot was ever produced—is a wine of outstanding authenticity tying the past to the present. Deep Ruby, aromas of berry fruits, earthy oak and floral spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and cherry with hints of floral, licorice and leather. Fine dusty tannins, good acidity, well balanced, ending with fruit, floral and earthy mineral notes. Nice! Grab a NY Strip!

Another 2nd day wine with 3 hour decant. Doesn’t have that typical fruit forward nose like the Sinegal. Distinctive & on par with old school Heitz. Hopefully new ownership keeps this style.
Store notes,
Lot C-91 is a new wine from Heitz, inspired by a very old one! In the fall of 1969, Joe Heitz played with creating a high-end blend of small lots from some of Heitz's top single-vineyard sites. He dubbed it "Lot C-91." Some 47 years later the current team at Heitz has once again taken select barrels of fruit from legendary sites such at Martha's (Oakville), Trailside (Rutherford) and Linda Falls (Howell Mountain), to create this Napa Valley "Super Cuvée." This wine beautifully showcases the incredible 2016 vintage in Napa, which I think will go down as one of the all-time greats.

Great Heitz style with just a little more fruit than normal.

I wanted to think about this one for a minute. It came out of the bottle hot. After an hour decant, this demonstrated the beauty that is Napa. Balanced, savory, and can withstand many more years in the bottle. I want more.
