2008 Heitz Cabernet Sauvignon

[TheEngineer]

Normally this is a decent little wine but rarely is it one that will wow people like a good Bella or Martha's. Now with no Bella, I think this wine has stepped up in price and performance, at least for this vintage. Now $45 at the winery, it is in heavy competition with many other wines.

However.....this is a decent vintage (see choice of words..), there is good grip, savory, brambly, and there is more than a hint of Martha's in there... then I found out that more than the regular amount of Martha's was "declassified" and used for this wine. It certainly shows and then Martha's is now $400 a mag.... Pricey
