“Live Each Day with the Heart and Courage of The Lion” has been the Hess Family credo for nine generations. The 2018 vintage marks the second vintage that is a winemaking collaboration between consulting winemaker Celia Welch and Hess Winemaker Dave Guffy. "In this vintage of The Lion Cabernet Sauvignon, I find the nose filled with generous aromas of blue and black fruits – blackberry, blueberry and a hint of dark chocolate. The palate displays a beautiful spectrum of rich, ripe, dark fruits supported by distinctive barrel spice flavors and mouth coating tannins." Dave Guffy, Director of Winemaking
