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.

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.

Aromas of ripe black cherries and clove are complemented by flavors of dark berries and notes of forest 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 limited release cuvée meant for sharing with friends and family.

This bold wine will stand well alongside braised or grilled meats like lamb, pork or duck dressed with sweet onions and earthy accents from mushrooms, eggplant and wild fennel. 

A beautiful and bold blend that highlights how Malbec can wrap itself seductively around Cabernet and create a luscious and complete wine.
