NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Hess Collection Shirtail Ranches Cabernet Sauvignon offers a generous nose of ripe blackberry and currant along with hints of tobacco, cedar, and earth.On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and dense, with ripe tannins and a long, persistent finish. The flavors of dark fruits, spice, and dark chocolate are layered and complex. This is an excellent expression of Cabernet Sauvignon, with a balance and finesse that promise to improve with further bottle aging.

ORIGINS
Winery: The Hess Collection
Region: North Coast California
The North Coast of California boasts some of the most renowned vineyards and wineries in the world. Located in the northern part of the state, the North Coast is home to the Napa Valley, Sonoma County, and Mendocino County, all of which are recognised for their exceptional wines.
The North Coast of California has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The region was first planted with vines by Spanish missionaries, who planted Mission grapes in the area. In the late 1800s, Italian immigrants began to settle in the region, bringing with them their own grape varieties and winemaking techniques. By the early 1900s, the North Coast had become a major wine-producing region, with many of the wineries still in operation today.CUSTOMER RATING
