Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, August 1996

The 1991 Martha's Vineyard is irrefutably better than the 1990 (a wine I found to be medium-bodied, surprisingly soft, a bit diluted, but cleanly made, and capable of providing satisfactory drinking over the next decade; I rated it 86). The 1991 reveals a deeper ruby/garnet color with a hint of purple, and a shy but attractive perfume of red and black fruits, wood, spice, and a vague notion of mint. On the palate the wine exhibits very good to excellent depth, medium body, and admirable tannin, glycerin, ripeness, and richness in the spicy finish. It is a more measured style of Martha's Vineyard, as well as more concentrated than the 1990. If it matures gracefully over the next decade, it will resemble the 1969 and 1973.

Wine Spectator, January 2002

Offers a distinct mint-chocolate aroma, and rich minty currant and black cherry flavors in a complex, deeply concentrated, sharply focused style. Tannins are softening, but offer enough intensity for another decade of cellaring.--'81/'91 California Cabernet retrospective. Drink now through 2010.

About Winery

Heitz Wine Cellars can be found in the eastern hills of St. Helena in a place known as "Spring Valley" to locals. In 1964, Joe and Alice Heitz purchased 160 acres of ranch and winery that became the culmination of their life's work. They produce three remarkable wines that have become the connoisseurs favorite and coveted commodities: Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Trailside Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, and Bella Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon. Their Martha's Vineyard Cabernet was highlighted by Wine Spectator as one of the top 12 wines of the 20th century. The Heitz label has become synonymous with grace and elegance in the wine industry and has donned bottles of extraordinary fine wines for more than 40 years.
