WINE DESCRIPTION

The Hess Collection Lion Tamer Napa Valley Red Blend is a premium wine produced by the Hess Collection Winery, known for their exceptional quality wines. This wine is made from grapes grown in the Napa Valley appellation, which is renowned for its ideal growing conditions. The vineyards feature a unique combination of soil types and microclimates, which contribute to the wine's complexity and depth of flavor. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a bold and rich blend of several grape varieties, with flavors of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice. The Lion Tamer is a perfect choice for those who appreciate a full-bodied and complex red wine.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This full-bodied red blend from The Hess Collection is a powerful and complex wine.Aromas of dark fruit, sage, and tobacco lead to ripe flavors of blackberry and plum, with a hint of spice. The tannins are firm but balanced, and the finish is long and lingering. This bold and flavorful wine is a true Lion Tamer sure to please the most discerning palate.
