This Hess Select Cabernet features grapes from some of the best vineyards in Napa and Lake county. This wine opens with rich aromas of dark fruit, clove, and a subtle touch of toasted vanilla. On the palate, it offers a bold, opulent entry, with mouth-coating tannins that unveil complex layers of black cherry and blackberry. Hints of vanilla and toasty oak enhance the depth, leading to a long, elegant finish with round, supple tannins.

Supple, with aromatics of brambles, blackberry, yellow plum and notes of dried rosemary on the nose, interlaced flavors of ripe Bing cherry, fennel seed, red licorice, orange zest, vanilla cream and hearty dry tannins to finish. Aerate and pair with roasted Cornish hens and herbed wild rice.
