title: Hess Collection 2004 Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon (Mount Veeder)
description: Production was 10,000 cases, amazing when you consider how good this mountain wine is. Immediately drinkable for the soft purity of the tannins and complex cassis, chocolate and oak flavors, it has the sturdy structure to develop for some years, but is best now for its elegant purity. Hess is on a real Cabernet roll, and is one of Napa's overlooked stars.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: Estate Grown
