Highlights
Hess Collection Lion Tamer Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
In crafting this wine, they strive for the perfect balance between hedonism and elegance. By incorporating a touch of Malbec into the blend, we enhance the softness of the tannins, resulting in a smooth and seamless experience. These supple tannins envelop the palate, revealing layers of blackberries and dark cherries, complemented by hints of freshly ground coffee. The wine is beautifully balanced, featuring well-integrated sweet oak notes that culminate in a lengthy, elegant finish. Blend 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Malbec, 2% Petite Sirah.
Critical Acclaim
92 Wine Enthusiast
Muscular and bold, this Malbec based red blend delivers the succulent, ripe fruits of the variety brought together with the structure and depth of Petite Sirah and Cabernet. Oak spices and lush fruits fill the mouth with flavor.
91 James Suckling
It's a nicely pumped-up cabernet that's moderately tannic and very generous in fruit and oak spice flavors. Full-bodied, broad and delicious, leading with blueberries, cocoa and blackberries, then hints of vanilla bean in the finish from a portion of American oak barrels used for aging. 12% malbec and 2% petite sirah go into this big wine.
