The Hess Collection Cabernet Sauvignon 'Hess Estate' 1995 is a distinguished red wine from California's Mount Veeder, crafted by Donald Hess in a historic winery. This vintage showcases a classic Napa character, known for its balanced structure and aging potential. The wine reveals aromas of redcurrant and black cherry complemented by earthy loam and hints of dill. On the palate, it offers a rich tapestry of red berry flavors with a touch of dark chocolate, underpinned by moderately drying tannins and a refreshing acidity. The finish is slightly grainy, indicating its ability to evolve further in the bottle, reflecting the mountainous terroir and thoughtful winemaking practices. Typically matured for around 18 months in French oak, the wine stands as a testament to Hess's mid-90s Cabernet heritage.
