To create the Hess Select series wines, Donald Hess seeks out the regions best suited to growing fruit-forward wines true to their varietal character. Grapes are sourced from Hess's estate vineyards and a select group of growers in Napa, Monterey, Lake and Mendocino Counties, with whom they have had long-term relationships. Hess adheres to the philosophy of sustainable farming and works exclusively with family owned vineyards.
Winemaker's Notes:
Aromas of pineapple and green apple are followed on the palate by crisp citrus flavors. Medium-bodied and refreshing, this wine has a rich mid-palate, with just a hint of oak toast. Well-balanced acidity gives this wine a clean, crisp mouthfeel, with a zesty, fruit forward finish.
