The lion has been the emblem of the Hess Family for nine generations. It has come to symbolize the bold and persevering nature of founder Donald Hess and our winery home on Mount Veeder.
Elevate your holiday celebrations with this Holiday Magnum. Each bottle is etched in silver, then hand dipped in wax for a stunningly elegant presentation.
With fruit sourced from Beckstoffer’s iconic Missouri Hopper vineyard in Oakville, this wine shows it is worthy of the reserve designation. Incredibly nuanced with a gorgeous structure, our Reserve Cabernet reflects the essence of Napa’s valley floor.
Our signature Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon comes from our estate Veeder Hills Vineyard. The elevation of this vineyard ranges from 600-1,120 feet, and its steep slopes and sedimentary clay and shale soils restrict root growth, resulting in Mount Veeder’s hallmark small berries with intense fruit flavors.
Each holiday season, Hess Collection winemaker Dave Guffy crafts a unique limited release cuvée meant for sharing with friends and family. This season, enjoy another exceptional small production cuvée from the Hess Family, dressed in a festive bottle.
