Since 1984, the outstanding Trailside vineyard has been part of the Heitz estate and produces one of the three, single-vineyard cabernet sauvignons. Nestled between Silverado Trail and Conn Creek on the fertile, eastern side of the Rutherford appellation, only the best blocks are selected for this terroir-driven cabernet sauvignon.
The Trailside Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon captures the heart of Rutherford terroir, vinified in the classic Heitz style. The well-drained volcanic soil of this parcel allows it to convey the essence of the growing season, year after year. The wine shows vibrant notes of ripe red fruit, sage, and thyme. The aromatics are all supported by firm tannins and an elegant finish. Aged for four years in the cellar followed by one year in bottle, the Heitz Cellars Trailside Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon was created with immediate enjoyment in mind and will continue to evolve over the next 20+ years.
