Since 1978, our family has grown and produced incredible, distinctive wines from our historic estate on Mount Veeder. Two generations of vintners have brought unshakeable dreams to life through The Hess Collection, Lion Tamer, and Panthera wines.

Collection

The Hess Collection

A Pioneer by Nature, Donald Hess was determined to defy convention and pursue winemaking at elevation in the Napa Valley. He established the Hess Collection winery on the steep slopes of Mount Veeder in 1978 and began a legacy of luxury wine making.

Collection

Lions Head Collection

BOLD. CONFIDENT. EDGY.

Inspired by the winemakers’ craft, this collection is an expression of next generation wines. Tim and Sabrina Persson have created this collection to ignite conversation around the artistry of these wines, and the dynamic, captivating wine labels showcase the power behind them.
