Heitz Cabernet Sauvignon 1994

Heitz Cabernet Sauvignon 1994 is a full-bodied red wine produced from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes by the esteemed Heitz Cellar in Oakville, Napa. The family-owned Heitz Cellars was founded in 1961 and has become synonymous with bold, age-worthy Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignons. Heitz records of the 1994 vintage. Heitz Cellars "A mild summer followed a fairly dry winter and cool, long spring, which allowed the moderate crop load to ripen slowly and consistently. A period of very warm weather during the first half of August just after veraison brought some unevenness in coloration but thinning fruit achieved more even ripening of the grapes that remained. The long, mostly cool growing season resulted in extended hang time for the grapes, allowing fruit to develop with extraordinary flavour development and ripe tannins."
