The 2002 Heitz Martha's Cabernet Sauvignon is a magnificent wine, classic in style, and showing immense power balanced with lush, sweet tannins. The elegant structure of this wine is a compliment to the purity of the varietal fruit from Martha’s Vineyard and a lovely reflection of its Oakville appellation. You are immediately drawn to the celebrated minty aroma of this Cabernet and swept away by the authenticity of its taste --- a mingling of velvety chocolate with ripe berries. The impressive balance makes this wine accessible now, but it will also reward proper cellaring for many years to come. This is a California Red Wine.
