Founded by Donald Hess, purchasing vineyards on Mount Veeder in 1978 and began making wine in 1983. Light golden with Fresh ripe stone fruit aromas and sweet notes. On the palate peach and ripe apple flavors with toasty notes. Medium length, good acidity, ending with a mineral oak tang. Ok, but the wine is lacking a cohesive balance.

This is a fine grocery store wine: plenty of acidity. Clean taste, medium mouthfeel, touch of oak. Nothing wrong with this; but no special tension or excitement. Fine. Sure.

Aroma is floral honeysuckle up front, Pear, peach, white cherries, vanilla, oak and heat at the end. Taste follows with medium acidity, warm spices at the end. Round, med-full body. A little hot and oaky for my taste but not terrible. I would recommend to someone looking for a chard.
