2004 Heitz Cellar Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon – A Napa Valley Icon
The 2004 Heitz Cellar Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon represents one of Napa Valley’s most storied single-vineyard bottlings.

This 2004 vintage continues the estate’s legacy of producing some of California’s most collectible wines.
Tasting Notes
True to form, the 2004 opens with lifted aromas of cassis, mint, and cedar, framed by notes of tobacco leaf, dark chocolate, and subtle earthiness. The palate is structured yet refined, delivering flavors of blackcurrant, plum, and herbal spice. Firm but integrated tannins lead to a long, graceful finish with Martha’s Vineyard’s unmistakable eucalyptus signature.
Winemaking & Vineyard Details
The Martha’s Vineyard site in Oakville is planted exclusively to Cabernet Sauvignon on well-drained gravel and alluvial soils. The 2004 vintage was fermented in stainless steel before being aged for over three years in American oak barrels, a hallmark of Heitz Cellar’s traditional winemaking. The vineyard’s unique microclimate and eucalyptus groves contribute to its famed minty profile.
Investment & Collectibility
The 2004 Martha's Vineyard holds a special place in Napa’s history, continuing a tradition that dates back to its inaugural release in 1966. Known for its consistency and singular character, it remains highly collectible among fans of Napa Valley wines and long-lived Cabernet Sauvignon. Perfect for your collection.
