Heitz Cellar

The wine that established Napa Valley single-vineyard Cab — Martha's Vineyard Oakville Cabernet produced continuously since 1966 from Tom and Martha May's eucalyptus-bordered benchland, its distinctive minty-herbal terroir signature the most debated and celebrated in California wine history.

Heitz's contrasting Rutherford single-vineyard expression — Trailside Vineyard Cabernet showing a distinctly different Napa Valley personality from the Martha's Vineyard eucalyptus character, demonstrating the founding Heitz single-vineyard philosophy with a second named site of equally compelling individual character.

Heitz's most broadly accessible estate expression — Napa Valley Cabernet from the family's accumulated 60+ year Napa Valley sourcing network showing the warm, food-first character that the Heitz family's founding single-vineyard quality conviction produces at the most approachable daily walk-in tasting tier.

Heitz's most historically unusual and Joe Heitz-personal expression — Grignolino Rosé from this rare Italian Piedmontese variety that Joe Heitz planted in Napa Valley in the 1960s because he loved Italian wine, one of the most genuinely unusual and historically personal white-adjacent wines produced by any California estate.
