Heitz Cellar Lot C-91 Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic and robust red wine from Napa Valley. It showcases inviting aromas of blackberries, cassis, and a touch of vanilla. The palate delivers flavors of dark cherry, blackcurrant, and well-integrated tannins, with a long and structured finish. This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with grilled meats, hearty stews, or aged cheeses.

James Suckling Review - Rated 97:
Black berry, slate, lead pencil, black currant, and wet earth. Excellent pedigree. Medium to full body with exquisite tannins that run the length of the wine and show intensity and focus. The purity of the cab character shows such clarity and resonates back to the great cabs of the 1970s. A blend of cab from the vineyards: Martha’s, Trailside, Howell Mountain, and Linda Falls. Drinkable but better in four or five years.
Wine Spectator Review - Rated 94:
An alluring whiff of mint leads off, followed quickly by tightly wound damson plum and red currant coulis notes. Sleek and tight-grained on the finish, with cedar, savory and iron accents rippling through before leaving a sanguine echo. This distinctive version is set up to age well. Best from 2026 through 2038. 3,769 cases made.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Review - Rated 94:
With its distinctive mossy, savory nose of old oak and bright notes of black cherries and cassis, the 2019 Lot C-91 is medium to full-bodied, showing greater concentration than the straight Cabernet Sauvignon. It's rich and dense yet shows no excess weight, then finishes long, with a hint of mocha. It's a terrific value.
