WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
This is a classic Napa Cabernet led by bold black fruit flavors, primarily black cherry and black currant, with elements of espresso and dark chocolate intertwined between the layered dark fruit notes. A wine of quality and depth, refined elements of oak showcase a composition built for aging, yet balanced, well-integrated tannins allow this wine to show beautifully for those unwilling to wait.
Blend: 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Malbec, 4% Petit Verdot
TASTING NOTES:
An impressively structured, estate-grown wine that's so concentrated, vivid and linear. Tangy red fruit like cranberries, red cherries and pomegranates are snug in fine-grained tannins and good acidity.
- James Suckling, 91 pts.
A blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% each Malbec and Petit Verdot, aged 18 months in 40% new French oak, the 2022 Hess Collection Cabernet Sauvignon Iron Corral delivers a classic cherry and cassis nose dressed up by some cedary notes. Medium to full-bodied, it's impressively silky for the vintage, with ample length.
