A SURPRISING STORY OF THE MOST FAMOUS AMERICAN WINE : HEITZ MARTHA’S VINEYARD 1974

Often compared to the 1945 Château Mouton-Rothschild, the most prestigious vintage of the exquisite wine, Martha’s Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Heitz comes from a small vineyard in a location that was long kept a secret. So secret was the spot, that the owners chose not to have their addresses in the phone book or on their mail box. In short, it is the best wi...

The distinguished legacy of Heitz Wine Cellars spans nearly half a century.

Founders Joe and Alice Heitz embarked on their illustrious journey in 1961 when there were fewer than a dozen wineries scattered across the Napa Valley.

Heitz Martha's Vineyard 1974. Still a big, powerful wine that sums up the richness of this perfect Napa vintage. It is densely fruity, spicy with an enormous black plum and minty fruit character to go with the acidity. It's concentrated while still showing such wonderfully pure fruit. This is a monumental, eternal wine!

Is there a more storied and fabled Cabernet in all of California? Perhaps the 1941 Inglenook, but there is a much smaller group of storytellers for that wine than the 1974 Heitz. This bottle lived up to the hype. It had .huge mint. in the nose, a veritable printing press for currency, I thought, and then I had my own flashback of Mouton Rothschilds from the .40s and .50s. Bob joked .a julep at Churchill Downs.. I think those are enough references for its minty qualities! The wine was meaty, rich, smooth, chocolaty and delicately spicy. The wine also gave me an acupuncture impression with its precision and prickle on the palate. Chocolaty, meaty and rich got written again by me . you get the idea

Medium-intense, brick red colour. Very aromatic nose with loads of medicinal herbs and spices. Full-bodied, silky smooth texture, very settled with super smooth and powdery tannins, elegant dense blueberry fruit, lovely toasty coffee notes in the lingering finish. Very long and harmonious. Not a 100-point wine but this wine has still some WOW-effect! Drink now and serve with grilled lamb chops with thyme and roasted garlic potatos. JL 97p (4/2022)

1974 was to California what 1961 was to Bordeaux. A great vintage all over, but the real star and probably the most legendary of all american wines is none other than Martha's Vineyard. It is to me like a charicature of the incredible Mouton -45. Great eucalyptus nose, fantastic extravagant fruit and so much class. A truly great wine! Doesn't need much decanting time.

a legend. a wine i have been most fortunate to taste and drink many many times. still very young and square. not the most elegant wine in the world but with a lot of character. fresh and bold without being heavy expression the very typical eucalyptus in the nose. great structure and savy tannins.

Sisäpiiritietoa

In our family, most of life's memorable moments have involved sharing a bottle of fine wine with friends and family. Many of the personal and business relationships that we still treasure after three generations started around our dinner table.

When people choose Heitz Cellars, they envision a classic wine and pure elegance that they can count on year after year. That is the heart and soul of our heritage. Our practices and methods have evolved over the years, but the quality of our wines and the integrity of our approach to the business --- that is going to stay the same."    - Kathleen Heitz Myers, President
