Heimark Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2018

Heimark Vineyard may be a little bit under the radar, but it needs to be on yours. We’re talking about a winemaker who has twice won Winemaker of the Year (2019, 2021) who learned her skills at the legendary Chateau Haut-Brion before leading the team at Araujo (Eisele Vineyard) and Accendo. Francoise Peschon doesn’t make bad wines. She is a superstar.

Combine her powers with ‘Winegrower of the Year’ winner, Michael Wolf (To Kalon, Scarecrow) and this is a small, boutique Napa Valley project with nearly unmatched firepower.

The small family vineyard is located in Dutch Henry Canyon on the east side of the Silverado Trail, a historic wagon trail connecting the small towns of Calistoga and Napa. If you haven’t had a chance to try the wines from here before, I implore you to do so – you won’t be disappointed!
