Joe Heitz came to the Napa Valley in 1951 and worked alongside Andre Tchelistscheff at BV. He bought his first vineyard in 1961 and the legendary Heitz Cellars was born. He introduced the concept of a vineyard designate in 1966 with the now famous "Martha's Vineyard", and pioneered numerous ideas in winemaking throughout his life. His name and Napa Cabernet go hand in hand.
