Medium ruby with just a touch of purple. Bright, jewelly redcurrant nose with a soft mintiness. Lightweight structure for a Cab with moderate levels of fine-grained tannins. Quite youthful. While 2018 is generally considered the better vintage for Napa generally, 2017 is every bit as good for Heitz Trailside. (SCJ)

From a vineyard on the eastern side of the Rutherford AVA, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Trailside Vineyard boasts cedar and dusty earth shadings alongside cherries and redcurrants. It's medium-bodied, with more focus and tension than the Martha's but perhaps a bit less generosity and richness. Long and dusty on the finish, it promises to age well for up to two decades.
