Tasting notes
You know, Heitz Cellar's Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is one of those iconic Californian wines that really showcases what the region can do. It's primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, with a touch of Merlot and others blended in. The 2004 vintage stands out as a testament to their craftsmanship, reflecting the sunny Californian terroir with its bold and generous flavors.
This wine made its mark in 'The Drops of God' in volume 22, where Shizuku Kanzaki was coerced into an auction and ended up with this bottle. It's a dramatic backdrop, but fitting for a wine that evokes the proud spirit of a Native American in its robust presence.
In the glass, it presents a deep garnet hue that's just lovely to behold. Aromatically, it opens up with rich notes of blackcurrant and blackberry, with hints of cedarwood and dried herbs adding complexity. On the palate, it's smooth at first sip, with powerful fruitiness that envelops your senses. The acidity is generous, providing a well-rounded balance, while the tannins are dense yet silky.
The finish is long, leaving a lasting impression with its firm presence. If you're planning on enjoying this, decanting it for a bit will enhance the experience even more.
