Deep Ruby with aromas of dark berry fruits, with sweet spicy notes. On the palate flavors of black cherry and blackberry with cacao, dusty oak, vanilla and leather. Well balanced with acidity, fine soft tannins, long finish ending with oak and spice. Good now and short term aging benefit! Nice value!

It's like your typical Cali Cab for this price point. Kinda similar to the (fake) Stags Leap.

Half bottle on sale bargain as this Hess hints at the much more expensive wines in adjacent vineyards. I ran back to get more but they were gone and cried a river.

Here is a great Napa Cabernet for my Friday's Cabernet fix.
Dark ruby in color with a purplish rim.
Fruity nose blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, oak, vanilla, licorice, eucalyptus, chocolates, spices, pencil lead, black pepper, leather, earth and metals.
Full bodied and rich, with medium acidity and nice legs
Dry on the palate and fruity, with blackberries, sweet cherries, black currants, oak, vanilla, licorice, earth, tobacco, pencil lead, peppercorn, leather, smoke, chocolates and mocha.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a great Cabernet from Napa Valley. Well balanced and enjoyable by itself or with food.
Showing nice complexity and mouthfeel.
Needs an hour to open up properly, but good right out of the bottle and good for parties.
Drinking nicely now and will be good in the next few years.
I paired it with beef tenterloin.
14.8% alcohol by volume.
