A clear differentiation between the Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and the Lot C-91 is the presence of savory elements such as sage, rosemany, cured meats, and black pepper. The soft expression of red and black fruits are a result of harvesting earlier while the fruit is still fresh and vibrant and having patience as the wine undergoes one of the longest aging regimens in the region. The Palate of the 2016 Lot C-91 Cuvee exhibits the density and length that only the truly great wines of the world are capable of. We are honored to resurrect this Cuvee, 47 years later, in honor of Joe Heitz.
