Tasting Note 20/05/2026 -94 Points

The wine was sold to churches for sacramental purposes

A very good vintage for the region

quite floral/violets

with big decanting discarding the savory and harmonious notes and allowing the lurking tannins to take over the otherwise beautifully balanced experience

2011 was a difficult vintage

A lot of tannin going on

Heitz Cellar has been crafting the now illustrious Martha’s Vineyard cabernet sauvignon

This is their second wine and is vilified in a similar way to the grand vin
