Jancis Robinson MW just captured the ethos and history of our w**ery so elegantly in her trenchant article, titled "In praise of (some) old California reds."

She called a recent vertical tasting of Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from 1966-1985 "The most stunning evidence of California w**es built to last."

"People say that California w**es don’t age, but they are so wrong. Though it probably depends which decade you pick," she began.

Fall has alighted in our vineyards, in a flourish of yellow. With harvest behind us, our w**emaking team will enjoy a well-earned rest. The vines will soon drop their leaves and begin their own winter repose. ⁠

Gather with us before the holidays and take a quick shot down the Trail to Trailside Vineyard, cocooned in our Lexus LX. It's an exhilarating 3-hour private tour and tasting we call The Rutherford Legacy.

“It’s at the end of the highway and it’s just your own little tiny piece of the world.” – Joe Heitz, 1985

At the end of Taplin Road in St. Helena, The Home Ranch has been the epicenter of Heitz Cellar since 1964. It's where the Heitz family lived and worked, and today it is both a humming w**emaking facility and a placid oasis in the foothills of the Vaca Range.

We are honored to host guests here, not just of Heitz, but also Ink Grade, Haynes Vineyard, and Trailside Vineyard, each with a distinct story and lineup of w**es. To be a part of it this fall and winter, reserve using the link in our bio.

Heitz Members, we have an exciting release to share with you this month.⁠
⁠
Our second vintage of Heitz Cellar Merlot comes from a vineyard surrounded by oak woodlands and part of the St. Helena AVA. Our Spring Valley Vineyard, AKA "SVV," sits just below BOND’s Quella parcel. ⁠
⁠
Here, Merlot is planted on a rolling knoll with an incredible aspect and elevation. The west-facing slope receives great exposure from the warm afternoon sun and the incline allows for well-drained soil, giving exceptional complexity and concentration to the w**e.⁠
⁠
The 2022 SVV Merlot brings in the unique forest quality of the surrounding wilderness with an essence of oak underbrush, mushroom, and mint, while still being balanced with bright red fruit.

We caught up with our Director of W**emaking Brittany Sherwood yesterday for her take on how vintage 2026 is coming together at Heitz Cellar:

"2026 is shaping up to be an incredible vintage! We got an early start this year, but with some cooler weather at the start of September, we were blessed with a brief respite that allowed our Cabernet Sauvignon to reach the balanced maturity we look for each year. The moderate heat the second week of September pushed flavors right where we needed them to be, and we are now 90% through harvest. Flavors, concentration, and energy are all present in our ongoing fermentations, and we are excited to see how these w**es develop as they age for the next 4-5 years in our cellar."

We're so honored to see our 100-point 2021 Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon in lights in Times Square.

A big thanks goes to our friends at the Portuguese Cork Association, reminding us that natural cork is the most sustainable, sensible choice. We wouldn't have it any other way.

⁠
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.
