The lion is the emblem of the Hess Family for nine generations, symbolizing the bold and persevering nature of founder Donald Hess and our winery home on Mount Veeder.

Sourced from Beckstoffer’s iconic Missouri Hopper vineyard in Oakville, this wine shows it's worthy of the reserve designation.

Aromas of ripe black cherries and clove are complemented by flavors of dark berries and notes of forest floor. Silky, elegant tannins work in tandem with the layered flavors and hints of smoke.

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 year, winemaker Dave Guffy crafts a unique limited release cuvée meant for sharing. This season, enjoy another exceptional small production cuvée from the Hess Family, dressed in a festive bottle.

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.

Our Small Block Pinot Noir is a classic Sonoma Coast blend with aromas of fresh berries, smoky notes, earth tones and complex layers of red fruits.

Aromas of boysenberry, blackberry and inviting elements of nutmeg and vanilla with a rounded mouthfeel, driven by red fruit on the palate.

Located near the summit of Mount Veeder, our Small Block Malbec from the Veeder Summit Vineyard is supple and sensuous, with flavors of blackberries and dark fruits along with a touch of jam and peppery spice that allows the wine to linger.
