Hess Collection

2023 19 Block Mountain Cuvée, Mount Veeder

There are certain exceptional blocks within our Mount Veeder estate vineyards that consistently yield fruit reflecting the true art of mountain winemaking. As Napa Valley’s coolest and wettest mountain appellation, Mount Veeder offers an extended growing season—allowing fruit to ripen slowly and develop layered complexity. The result is a wine that captures the essence of this rugged terroir.
About

TASTE WITH THE WINEMAKER

“The 2023 “19 Block” Cuvée opens with an alluring bouquet of rich cassis syrup and savory tobacco leaf, accented by complex undertones of sarsaparilla and cream soda. On the palate, the wine is plush and expansive, revealing dense, dark fruit
and concentrated cordial notes framed by finely-structured tannins. Elegant and expressive, it strikes a balance between decadent richness and a remarkably fresh, vibrant finish. While youthful today, cellar aging or decanting will reveal a stunning harmony of depth and effortless finesse.”

– Stephanie Pope, Senior Winemaker
