2021 | Hess Collection Cabernet Sauvignon | Mount Veeder
This blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Malbec, and 1% Petit Verdot was aged 22 months in 80% new French oak barrels. Grapes come from Hess's Veeder Hills Vineyard atop its Mount Veeder estate. A full-bodied wine teeming with bright and fragrant wild herbs, spearmint, and spring flowers balanced by a more robust palate expression backed by dense and compact tannins laced with dark cocoa, toffee, and espresso bean, finishing with bold dark berry fruit, sea salt, and stony minerality.
