2019 Heitz Trailside Cabernet

From a site adjacent to Beckstoffer's Georges III, Heitz's 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Trailside Vineyard is a strong effort, boasting ample cedar, ripe cherries, gentle herbal complexities (think bay leaf and sage) and a delicate dusty-earth character. It's medium- to full-bodied and silky in texture, with a long finish lined by fine-grained tannins wrapped around a core of crisp acidity.
