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.

This limited release, estate grown Cabernet was crafted from carefully chosen blocks in our Veeder Hills vineyard. The 2017 vintage marks the 35th anniversary for The Hess Collection, and this special bottling pays homage to Donald Hess and his unwavering vision to challenge convention.
