Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the Heitz Cellar Trailside is richly layered, with lush flavors and impeccable balance. In the glass, dark fruits take the lead with bold aromas of cherries, currants, and blackberries, followed by rose petals and cassis. Then, the savory elements kick in on the palate with crushed sage, bay leaf, and subtle mineral notes. It is the perfect, flavorful, full-bodied, palate-coating, fresh Cabernet. This is drinking beautifully now, but it is likely to get even better with a bit more age.
