Hess Collection
2019 Mount Veeder Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
TASTE WITH THE WINEMAKER
“Our 2019 estate-grown Cabernet provides an exemplary expression of the sophistication, complexity, and structure that we’ve come to expect from our mountain fruit. The Cabernet Sauvignon produces aromas of ripe, wild, mountain raspberry, along with gentle notes of vanilla caramel. The subtle touch of Malbec adds a soft, mouth-filling texture on the palate. Enticing flavors of dark plum, licorice, cocoa and vanilla oak spice unite to create a supple wine that lingers for a pleasing finish.”
– Dave Guffy, Director of Winemaking
