Heitz Cellars, Martha's Vineyard, Cabernet Sauvignon--Vintage 1991
Napa Valley
"The 1991 Martha's Vineyard is irrefutably better than the 1990 (a wine I found to be medium-bodied, surprisingly soft, a bit diluted, but cleanly made, and capable of providing satisfactory drinking over the next decade; I rated it 86). The 1991 reveals a deeper ruby/garnet color with a hint of purple, and a shy but attractive perfume of red and black fruits, wood, spice, and a vague notion of mint. On the palate the wine exhibits very good to excellent depth, medium body, and admirable tannin, glycerin, ripeness, and richness in the spicy finish. It is a more measured style of Martha's Vineyard, as well as more concentrated than the 1990. If it matures gracefully over the next decade, it will resemble the 1969 and 1973."
