Hess Select Cabernet Sauvignon - Hess Collection Winery

The powerful Hess Select Cabernet Sauvignon Hess Collection Winery flows into the glass with a dense purple color. As the glass swirls, this red wine reveals a high viscosity, evident in church windows at the rim of the glass. The initial nose of the Hess Select Cabernet Sauvignon flatters with notes of plum, morello cherry and mulberry. The fruity aspects of the bouquet are joined by notes of barrel aging like even more fruity balsamic nuances.

This wine delights with its elegantly dry taste. It was bottled with exceptionally low residual sugar. This is a real quality wine, which clearly stands out from simpler qualities and so this North American enchants naturally with all dryness with the finest balance. Excellent taste does not necessarily need sugar. The finale of this youthful red wine from the wine-growing region of California finally convinces with a beautiful reverberation. The finish is also accompanied by mineral notes of the soils dominated by silicate rock.

This powerful red wine from the USA is made from the grape varieties Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Durif, Malbec and Merlot. In California, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on soils of silicate rock. After the hand harvest, the grapes are quickly transferred to the press house. Here they are selected and carefully broken up. Fermentation follows in small wood at controlled temperatures. After the completion of fermentation, the Hess Select Cabernet Sauvignon is aged for another 12 months in French oak barrels.
