Because Paso Robles receives little rainfall, the grapes develop a great depth, which is certainly noticeable in this red wine.

The vineyards are undoubtedly among the finest in Napa Valley. And the grapes grown and vinified there belong to the California wine elite, prized by connoisseurs worldwide. Although Napa Valley itself is relatively small, it boasts diverse microclimates and soils ideally suited to grape growing. Here, the combination of a typically long, warm growing season and well-drained soils creates optimal ripening conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon. It is considered one of the world's finest wine regions. The wines of the Hess Collection are family-owned, sustainably farmed, and dedicated to reflecting a true sense of place. The wines are recognizable by their elegant, rich, and complex flavors and a tradition of excellence. The grapes are rooted in soils with a volcanic surface interspersed with clay and clay. All three grape varieties are crushed and after temperature-controlled maceration the wine matures for eighteen months in American oak barrels, 25 percent of which are new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eEnjoy the explosive taste of this Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Complex and accessible, the nose boasts rich aromas of blackcurrant and blackberry, alongside notes of vanilla and nutmeg.
