WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
This wine invites you right in with bright aromas of cherries, raspberries, and subtle hints of sweet spice. Pinot Noir is known for being seductive; this wine proves it to be true – beautiful aromas lead to a juicy palate with flavors of berries, ripe plum, and floral notes of roses. A flavorful palate is highlighted by warm vanilla notes and a touch of clove all wrapped in smooth, velvety tannins.
Crafted by our winemakers best known for artistry with coastal vineyards, Hess Select wines are sourced from our family-owned estate vineyards and from grower families throughout California who share the guiding principle that our founder Donald Hess instilled in our family business “nurture the land and return what you take.” We strive to make the very best wines that elevate the everyday, and honor the courageous nature of the lion – the symbol of the Hess family.
Pairs beautifully with Grilled Salmon, Chicken, and Pork or Creamy Cheeses.
