Lion Tamer Cabernet Napa 2021

Donald Hess Swiss businessman founded Hess Collection Winery some 46 years and was revolutionary figure in Napa Valley. His Hess Collection Cabernet from Mont Veeder back in the day was one of the key wines that made me fall in love with Napa Cab. He passed away in 2003 but his legacy is continued by his daughter Tim and Sabrina Persson who created the Lions Head Collection, a homage to Lions Head mountain in Cape Town, South Africa where Tim has roots.

“Polished and perfumed, this elegant wine drinks easily now but has the balance and quiet concentration to help it improve for several years. Lush black cherries, black currants and blueberries fill the palate, buoyed on moderate tannins and spiced with toast, cinnamon and cedar notes from oak barrels. Blended with 8% Malbec.” 95pts WE

Shows generous, succulent notes of acai, blackberry and black currant preserves. This offers ample toast, too, which stays along the edges. Nice licorice root and singed alder accents weave through the finish. Best from 2025 through 2035. 92pts WS

In crafting this wine, our goal is to achieve perfect balance between hedonism and elegance.  We add a touch of Malbec to the blend to develop a softness in the tannins, making this a smooth and seamless wine. These supple tannins surround the palate, framing layers of juicy black currant, dark plum and hints of espresso, with well-integrated notes of baking spice from oak aging presenting on the lengthy, elegant finish.
