Hess Collection On the nose mocha, brown sugar, and dark chocolate wrap around a core of mountain blackberry. Cedar and cassis follow as secondary aromas. The palate is well balanced with berry flavors and spice. While displaying classic mountain concentration, fine grained tannins provide a smooth finish. Great aging potential.

The Vineyards
The cooling marine influences of the San Francisco Bay and
cool afternoon breezes result in daytime temperatures that are an average of
five to ten degrees lower than the valley floor, with slightly warmer nights as
the cooler air sinks to lower elevations. These vineyards tend to be above both
the fog and frost lines.
The soil is Volcanic Rhyolite and some clay streaks with patches of
compressed volcanic ash, sometimes called tufa or tuff.
