Heimark Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Crafted by renowned winemaker Francoise Peschon, the 2017 Heimark Cabernet Sauvignon stands as a shining example of Napa Valley excellence. This vintage emerged from a growing season that tested the vineyard’s resilience through heatwaves and late-season challenges. The vines, supported by deep root systems, took full advantage of winter rains, while the vineyard’s elevation and careful irrigation maintained balance and rich flavors.

In the glass, this Cabernet Sauvignon shows a deep garnet-red color, reflecting its richness and density. The aromas captivate with layers of wild herbs, including thyme, bay laurel, and fennel, alongside spicy notes of cloves and star anise. Bright red berry fruit—think cherries and blackberries—dances elegantly with hints of cedar, licorice, and sweet pipe tobacco, creating a bouquet that feels both aromatic and inviting.

On the palate, this wine delivers a polished and expressive structure with a blend of succulent fruit flavors, dark chocolate, and a touch of loamy minerality. The balanced tannins provide a smooth texture, while the wine’s vibrant energy carries through to a lingering finish. It strikes an impeccable balance between being dense and elegant, offering an experience that is both refined and thrilling.

This remarkable wine has the power to impress both seasoned collectors and casual enthusiasts. While it is delicious now with decanting, its structure and complexity ensure it will reward aging for up to two decades.
