A Taste of ... The Hess Family Estates/Artezin

California’s Finest from Mt Veeder to Mendocino

Six 50ml (1.7 oz.) mini bottles

The Hess Collection is renowned for selecting the most unique vineyard sites in Napa Valley and beyond, and creating distinguished wines of complexity, structure and elegance. This sampler offers you the opportunity to taste an intriguing array of these stunning wines. 
 
The 2009 "Allomi" Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley begins your journey in a remote corner of Napa at the base of Howell Mountain. Here, optimal ripening conditions yield a tropical and refreshing white wine. Another refreshing white awaits you in the southernmost region of Napa - the 2009 Napa Valley Chardonnay from Carneros. Next, hike up to some of the highest elevation vineyards in Napa to taste the 2009 Mt. Veeder Chardonnay, which features focused minerality and vibrant fruit. 
 
Three exciting reds form the second half of the Hess Collection experience. The 2009 Artezin Zinfandel Mendocino County, just to the north of Napa, shows the bright red fruit and spicy palate for which the varietal is known. Follow that with the intense black fruit and silky mouthfeel of the 2008 "Allomi" Petite Sirah Napa Valley. Finally, your taste adventure concludes with the signature "19 Block Cuvee" Mt. Veeder Blend, an ultra-rich Cabernet Sauvignon dominant wine that will astound you with its pronounced fruit, silky texture and supple finish. This sampler is definitely not to be missed.
