Over the next 35 years, Joe Heitz worked tirelessly to understand every nook and cranny of his prized Trailside vineyard in Napa Valley’s beloved Rutherford AVA. For example, the soils near the northern end of the vineyard – closest to Quintessa – are primarily Cortina (or very deep, excessively drained soils often in a former flood plain). Vines plunge incredibly deep into the soil here.
Nearly 25 years before this was commonplace, Joe crafted a plan for how to handle each individual parcel, and then how to ferment each separately and then masterly blend to achieve the ‘Trailside Cabernet’ style.
It’s a historic wine and a formula you don’t F$%^ with … unless you really, REALLY want to. Current head winemaker, Brittany Sherwood’s primary job is preserving the legacy of Heitz Cellars but it’s pretty irresistible to take just a few barrels of Trailside Vineyard Cabernet and make it the more modern way.

This is a huge favorite of folks in the Red Bank area. It’s a bold, unapologetic Chardonnay with juicy notes of peach, lemon sorbet, baking spice and vanilla with a rich, creamy middle and plenty of natural acidity to balance it out. The lemon vanilla finish is perhaps the wine’s calling card or the sheer drinkability of it all. Either way, it’s a Chard that people adore. It’s no wonder Wine Enthusiast called this, “a big win for fans of this bold style”.
It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! These won’t last long! This is an opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet with tightly woven tannins, that is just raring and ready to go. Textbook, full-bodied, revved up and ready to go, this new Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is the definition of a crowd pleaser.
The newly released Fiancetto Howell Mt. Cabernet is a dream – a gorgeous, elegant dark-fruited Cabernet Sauvignon that is it picks up time in the glass, unfurls its full signature of cedar laced cassis nose and mid palate of chocolate-covered cherries and savory spices. Only four palates of this (224 cases) were made off a gorgeous, sprawling high elevation spot 1500 feet above sea level. It’s full and plush and finishes fresh and oh so long. The price is crazy for Howell Mountain Cabernet but that’s what Ry Richards and Fiancetto is all about.
From two New Jersey natives comes something special from Napa Valley. First the Faustini’s bought grapes from the historic Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard for their first test batch. Next they brought in Opus One & Clos du Val alum Kian Tavakoli to head up the winemaking. Throw in an outrageously good 2015 vintage in Napa and what you have is the recipe for a knockout wine that is starting to come into its own and will be great for the next 10-20 years!
