About Heitz Wine Cellars
Heitz Cellar is one of Napa Valley's most historic and revered wineries, founded in 1961 by Joe and Alice Heitz in St. Helena. It helped write the modern history of Napa Cabernet: its Martha's Vineyard bottling was among the first vineyard-designated Cabernets in California, and it set a benchmark for structured, age-worthy, distinctly Napa reds.
The wines are built for the cellar and for the table, classic and restrained rather than showy. A visit to the St. Helena tasting room is a chance to taste a piece of Napa history, from the estate Cabernet to library releases, in a setting that values substance over spectacle. For anyone interested in where great Napa Cabernet came from, Heitz is essential.

Helena estate inHelena estate in 1961 with a founding conviction about single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon quality that predated most of Napa Valley's current vineyard-designation philosophy, produced what became one of the most critically famous and most personally eucalyptus-character-uniquely-distinctive single-vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon expressions available from any California producer.
