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."
