The winery has long held back a portion of each vintage in its cellars, and this library collection draws on those reserves. It includes two bottles each of Martha's Vineyard 1988, from the Oakville site renowned for its mint and eucalyptus character; Bella Oaks Vineyard 1994, from Rutherford; and the Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1996, offering a side-by-side look at fully mature Heitz Cabernet across three sites and vintages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nose: Mature aromas of dried cherry, cassis, cedar, tobacco and leather, with mint and eucalyptus in the Martha's Vineyard and dusty earth in the Bella Oaks.
