On a beautiful, warm September evening, w**e & food lovers gathered in the Stone Cellar for our annual La Paulée dinner.⁠

This annual convivium always recharges our spirit, and it couldn’t come at a better time for our team as they remain in the throes of harvest. We’re so grateful for each of you who joined us at the Home Ranch to celebrate the 2026 crush with our w**emaking team and chef S***a. ⁠

A big thanks is due, as ever, to our fantastic partners at Lexus USA for helping to bring this night to life.

We're humbled and grateful for the mention of 2018 Heitz Trailside Vineyard in Robb Report's "7 Great Cabernet Sauvignons From Napa’s Storied Rutherford AVA," by Mike DeSimone and Jeff Jenssen.

The duo called it "fantastic w**e," offering "aromas of rolled to***co leaf, black plum, and black cherry that transition to flavors of dried Mediterranean herbs, blackberry, cassis, and a touch of both iron and Rutherford dust in the finish."

Harvest is here. Pickers snip the purple bunches in the cool dark before dawn. The Home Ranch is humming around the clock as the fruit comes in. September is when all of our patient work in our vineyards pays off, and we kick off the season with our Luminary Harvest Weekend.

There is no better time to visit. Hop in our our Lexus LX 600 to see Trailside Vineyard in style, in our Rutherford Legacy tour. Reservations for this 2-3 hour tour are understandably limited.

2021 is the kind of pitch-perfect vintage that doesn't come along very often. Our W**emaker Brittany Sherwood describes how it all fell into place.

Guests can taste all of our 2021 single-vineyard w**es, including the 100-point 2021 Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, when they book The Single-Vineyard Legacy at our Salon in St. Helena.

We wanted to extend a special word of thanks to W**e Spectator Grand Award Winner Spago Beverly Hills for featuring our Lot C-91 Cabernet Sauvignon and our Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.⁠

Other Grand Award winners have welcomed our w**es on to their lists recently, notably Sierra Mar in Big Sur, the legendary Bern's in Tampa, and The Little Nell in Aspen. We are honored and grateful.

Summer at Heitz means harvest preparations are beginning. While our viticultural team monitors every vineyard's progress, you can witness this unforgettable season firsthand at our Home Ranch in St. Helena.

There's no better destination in the valley for classically-proportioned, ageworthy Cabernet Sauvignon, with a tasting program curated by a Master Sommelier.

We'd love to make some new summer memories with you. Seats fill up quickly this time of year, but you may reserve them at https://heitzcellar.com/visit/heitz-cellar-salon/.

Veraison, the change in grapes' color from green to purple, has started at our Spring Valley Vineyard in St. Helena. It is about 20-30% complete. ⁠

This is also the time of year where we meet in the vineyard to discuss a thinning plan, and we begin green harvesting to focus the plants' energy on fewer bunches. This improves concentration, ensures even ripening, and hastens harvest, which should begin in early September.

Blending is one of the most fascinating parts of a w**emaker’s job. Later this month, you can experience it for yourself. We call it our Blending Masterclass.⁠

On Sunday, July 28, you can step into the role of w**emaker and discover the art behind one of Napa Valley’s most storied w**es. In this hands-on seminar at our Home Ranch, you’ll taste the single-vineyard components that form our celebrated Lot C-91, then craft your own blend, guided by our w**emaking team. It’s an unforgettable opportunity to deepen your understanding of Napa Valley terroir—and to create a w**e that’s uniquely your own.⁠

We can’t think of a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon in Napa Valley. Head to https://heitzcellar.com/events/ to learn more.

We loved reading Joe Heitz's newsletter from the fall of 1983, and seeing how he sold w**e to his mailing list 43 years ago.

As you can tell from the first paragraph, it's all about the facts. Adjectives are scarce and simple when you find them.

And hot takes like this one leave no doubt about authorship: "The rage lately seems to be to talk how well one's w**e goes with food. (What else was it ever meant for?)"⁠

As we prepare our offer of the 2022 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, we're inspired by this rallying cry.
