HEIR APPARENT 2017 CABERNET SAUVIGNON RUTHERFORD, NAPA VALLEY
Heir Apparent is part of Grand Napa Vineyards, and their winery is located in a sweet-spot of Rutherford that sits almost directly across from Peju and not far from Staglin Vineyards. They sourced fruit for their 2017 Rutherford Cabernet from an unnamed site whose Estate wines garner more than $200 per bottle. The 2017 vintage combined 97% Cabernet Sauvignon with 3% Cabernet Franc, and they aged it for around 24 months in barrel. This Napa Red wine has immense power and beautifully knit and precisely detailed flavors that combine intensity and elegance. At this price, you should grab some before it all fades away…

Tasting Notes from Master Sommelier, “The Heir Apparent Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 is a beautiful wine that perfectly defines the Rutherford region. It has a deep-purple color showcasing crushed blackberries, red plums and wild currants, along with tobacco, espresso, and earth notes. There is a wonderful balance of freshness to richness, along with an understated touch of Rutherford Dust that makes this wine shine brightly. Drink between 2020 and 2028..” KEVIN VOGT 94 POINTS
Tasting Notes from Edward [07/04/2020] “Open this up, and it’s LIKE a Shock Wave! Who needs Fireworks, because this Rutherford Cab is like BOOM! Faster than the speed of taste, this is an Explosion on your taste buds. Gripping Tannins, Rich Rutherford Fruit, and the legs on this just keeps going and going. Age-worthy, Case-Worthy, but I say Drink Now! I really like the way the 2017s are showing now… stock-up on this sleeper Vintage, it’s like 1997 all over again. Holding this bottle, you can feel it’s historic. This is a Killlerrr Napa Red for Ribs; it’s got Summer BBQ written all over it! Nice Juice!! Happy 4th to you and yours – Many blessings and Much Love! Ed ~ your friend in Cali” CALIHIWINES 95+ POINTS
