2017 Holiday Cuvée Cabernet Sauvignon
"Our Holiday Cuvée gives me a chance to reflect on what I might like to grace my own holiday table, and for this vintage, I've selected lots of our finest Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec, which certainly fits the bill as a memorable wine. This wine is inviting and warm presenting aromas of delicious baking spice and raspberry jam. On the palate, it delivers juicy, mouthfilling tannins, which develop alongside layered elements of ripe plum and cocoa with subtle oak spice appearing on the lengthy finish. I know that some have been collecting our unique bottlings each vintage and for that, I think there's only one suggestion: get one for the cellar, and one for the celebration. This is something you may not want to wait too long for. From our Hess family, our sincere best wishes and thanks for sharing our wines." - Dave Guffy, Director of Winemaking
