Winemaker Notes
For the past several years Hess has been replanting some celebrated blocks hither on Mount Veeder, and the figurative and literal fruits of their labors are beginning to elevate the quality of the wines from their mountain home. It'due south honestly, simply, exciting. A touch more Malbec this vintage sets the stage for a classic mountain Cabernet led by aromas of wild mount raspberry and Bing cherry-red. Malbec trends toward blueish fruit and nada is quite so luscious equally blueberries framed by hints of vanilla, cassis, creamy milk chocolate caramel, and oak spice. They watch their Cabernet age in the sometime butt chai visitors beginning see every bit they walk toward the winery, and the near two-twelvemonth wait in barrel is proving once again to be well worth it.

Another sensational effort and probably one of the best wines to sally from Hess in the concluding xxx years is the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Manor Mt. Veeder, a alloy of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon and 18% Malbec. This is sensational wine with fabled aromatics of white flowers, licorice, roasted java, huckleberry and black raspberry liqueur, with pen ink and graphite making an appearance. It is a full-bodied, rich and a compelling effort from Hess. The expert news is in that location are about 10,700 cases of it.
COMMENTARY: The Hess Drove Mountain Veeder Cabernet 2013 shines with red fruit brightness. TASTING NOTES: This vino nicely balances out ripe, red currants, and dried herbs in its aromas and flavors. Enjoy it with rotisserie chicken in a mix of fresh salad greens. (Tasted: July 14, 2020, San Francisco, CA)
A hearty 18% Malbec is part of this wine, from the producer's appellation estate. Clove, cedar and graphite kick things off on the nose, earlier youthful tannin give latitude and depth to the ripe blackberry, cherry and blueberry. The wine is soft and seductive on the finish.
