P.B. Hein Cabernet

Filed Under Reds 

The latest release from P.B. Hein is a wonderful 2005 Napa Cabernet, another clear winner from Paul Hein who definitely seems to have “the touch” of a great California winemaker.

PB Hein 2005 Napa Valley Cabernet

This 2005 Cabernet was gently pressed from grapes planted, grown and tended by Paul himself on the Hein family ranch in the Deer Park area of St. Helena (just below Howell Mountain). The result is a fantastic velvety and full bodied; medium-rich Cabernet with a distinctive nose and flavors of black currant, cherry, toast, and spicy oak. Long, mildly tannic finish. This boutique Napa Valley Cabernet (less than 300 cases!) drinks well right now if you love lively young Napa Cabernets. It should also mature and evolve quite well over the next 3-7 years.

"Jonathan, the Dujac Echezeaux was everything a great wine should be. Wonderful flavor, just a bit of a sweet undertone, and great power."
