The Icons arrives in its own box and showcases the two pinnacle wines of The Hess Collection—The Lion and The Lioness:
- 2023 The Lioness Chardonnay, Napa Valley
- 2021 The Lion Mount Veeder Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
The Lion Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced exclusively from our Veeder Hills Vineyard, offers deep and abundant layers of wild mountain brambles, bay leaves and violets, dark cocoa and warm spices. Consulting winemaker Celia Welch collaborates with Stephanie Pope to craft this masterpiece. The Lion Cabernet is only made in the best vintages, making library vintages extremely rare.
The Lioness Chardonnay reflects the abundance and power of Napa Valley through low-intervention winemaking techniques, allowing our best fruit to shine. Soft aromas of lemon curd and toast lead to flavors of cooked Golden Delicious apples, sweet cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla.
