Hess Collection Lion Tamer Cabernet Sauvignon 2022Hess Collection Lion Tamer Cabernet Sauvignon 2019In crafting this wine, our goal is to achieve perfect balance between hedonism and elegance. We add a touch of Malbec to the blend to develop a softness in the tannins, making this a smooth and seamless wine. These supple tannins surround the palate, framing layers of juicy black currant, dark plum and hints of espresso, with well-integrated notes of baking spice from oak aging presenting on the lengthy, elegant finish.

Shows generous, succulent notes of acai, blackberry and black currant preserves. This offers ample toast, too, which stays along the edges. Nice licorice root and singed alder accents weave through the finish. Best from 2025 through 2035. 4,150 cases made.
