2016 THE HESS COLLECTION LION TAMER RED BLEND, NAPA VALLEY CALIFORNIA

Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, Durif, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Zinfandel grapes are the starting point for the first-class and wonderfully powerful cuvée Lion Tamer Red Blend Napa Valley from The Hess Collection Winery. The grapes grow in optimal conditions in California. Here, the vines dig their roots deep into soils of clay and sandstone. After the grape harvest, the grapes reach the press house as quickly as possible. Here they are selected and carefully broken up. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks and small wood at controlled temperatures.
