100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Rich in sage, dark currants, mint, and crushed stones. On the palate, its bright natural acidity and fine-grained tannins frame a core of black cherry, graphite, and savory herbs. Lot C-91 is a sophisticated nod to Napa’s golden era, offering a masterclass in balance and terroir.
Heitz Cellar stands as one of the founding pillars of modern Napa Valley winemaking. Established in 1961 by Joe and Alice Heitz, the estate played a monumental role in elevating Napa Valley to world-class status. Joe Heitz pioneered the concept of single-vineyard designated wines in California, famously putting "Martha’s Vineyard" on the label and introducing a style defined by vibrant acidity, lower alcohol, and unparalleled aging potential. Unlike many modern Napa producers who chase rich, oak-heavy extractions, Heitz has stubbornly and beautifully preserved its classic, Old World signature—relying on extended aging in large, neutral oak vats rather than new French barriques.
The Heitz Cellar "Lot C-91" Cabernet Sauvignon is a masterful liquid tribute to this legacy. The story begins in 1969 when Joe Heitz created a highly sought-after, experimental blend called Lot C-91. Though it was a one-off release, the estate revived the moniker decades later to represent the pinnacle of their blending expertise. Today’s Lot C-91 is a cuvée crafted from Napa’s most prestigious nested appellations, combining organically grown fruit from estate vineyards in Rutherford, Oakville, Howell Mountain, and St. Helena.
