About this drink
About the Hess Collection: “The Hess Collection vineyards represent the diverse growing conditions seen in the Napa Valley. We grow grapes in both cool climates and hot. Our sites are gently sloped along the bay to steep in the mountains. History has taught us what is best for our vines, and we learn how to better tend to our vineyards with each passing vintage.

Get that right and you have something very special on your hands each harvest.” – Sander Scheer, Viticulturist
