something that one doesn’t see often

earth and floral notes within a firm

The 2010 Château Margaux performed far better at this horizontal than at Farr's blind tasting a few days later

slightly atypical sense of levity and delicacy that I find delightful

forward and fleshy

Heitz Cellar, Cabernet Sauvignon other_regions_australia something that one doesn’t seeHeitz's 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon is predominantly St. Helena fruit, but it includes grapes from other AVAs as well. With its cherry notes and some darker, more cassis like nuances, hints of dried herbs and dusty earth, it's pretty classic old school Cabernet. Medium to full bodied, it's linear, silky and fine, avoiding any sense of jammy excess.
