Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Hewitt’s 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon is a large-scaled, structured effort displaying plenty of dusty, earthy notes intermixed with chocolate, licorice, spice box, black currant, and new oak smells. With an opaque purple color as well as terrific depth and intensity, this seriously-endowed 2006 will require some cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2035.

• Wine Enthusiast: Pretty tannic now, which accentuates the dryness, creating an austere palate impression. So it’s one for the cellar, but will it age? Yes. It’s dramatically rich in blackberries, black currants and blueberries, with a voluptous edge of dark chocolate.

Producer Information

The historic Hewitt Vineyard resides on the famed Rutherford Bench, a narrow ribbon of gravel-rich alluvial soils on the western side of the Napa Valley that has – since the late 1800s – produced California’s best Cabernet Sauvignon. William Hewitt purchased this property in 1962 and received guidance in planting the vineyard from legendary Beaulieu Vineyard (BV) winemaker André Tchelistcheff. BV purchased Cabernet Sauvignon from Hewitt Vineyard and included it in its top wines for many years. When Hewitt Vineyard was offered for sale in 2000, Chalone Wine Group President Tom Selfridge, who began his career at Beaulieu and knew first-hand the vineyard’s extraordinary quality, jumped at the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to add this treasure to the company’s portfolio. Today, Hewitt Vineyard produces only estate Cabernet Sauvignon from its extraordinary property. Through this exclusive focus, Hewitt is a leader in Rutherford’s winemaking renaissance.
