Narasella Releases Wine Commemorating 60th Anniversary of Heights Sella Establishment

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-sun] Wine importer Narasella announced on the 27th the release of the 'Lot C-91 Cabernet Sauvignon,' a commemorative wine celebrating the 60th anniversary of Heitz Cellar, the iconic Napa Valley classic wine.

Founded in 1961 by Joe Heitz, Heitz Cellar is recorded as the first single vineyard wine in the United States. Using only grapes grown in a specific vineyard, it captured distinct character in its wines. From its early days, it cultivated grapes organically and has long been respected as a producer that led the modernization of American wine and the development of Napa Valley. The renowned American wine magazine Wine Spectator selected Heitz Cellar's flagship wine, Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, as one of the 'Top 12 Wines of the 20th Century,' recognizing it as a symbol of premium American wine.

The newly released 'Lot C-91 Cabernet Sauvignon' traces its origins to a premium wine created in 1969 by founder Joe Heitz, who blended grapes harvested from the most essential areas within Napa Valley. Currently, Heitz Cellar's winemaker Brittany Sherwood revived this wine with deep respect for Joe Heitz, conducting extensive research based on his notes and a few remaining sample bottles.

'Lot C-91 Cabernet Sauvignon' exhibits the ultimate density and finish that only the finest wines can show. It smoothly blends carefully selected grapes from the Rutherford, Oakville, St. Helena, and Howell Mountain vineyards, delivering vivid yet soft flavors of dark red fruits, with rising notes of spices such as sage and rosemary.
