Hess Collection Napa The Lion Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 (750 ml)

Wine Enthusiast Review - Rated 97:
Wine Enthusiast calls this a deep, layered mountain Cabernet that is creamy yet structured, bold yet nuanced, and suited to drinking now or cellaring. Blueberry, mocha, cinnamon, and cream lead into dark fruit, mint, and café au lait on the palate. Silky tannins carry the wine through a lingering finish, with a recommended drinking window of 2026–2036.

James Suckling Review - Rated 95:
The 2019 Lion offers redcurrant, flowers, pine, lavender, and rosemary in a highly aromatic profile. It is full-bodied, with fine but intense tannins and a creamy texture that gives the wine both power and polish. Malbec in the blend contributes an extra measure of ripe fruit and generosity.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Review - Rated 93:
Wine Advocate notes a blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Malbec, and 3% Petit Verdot. Blueberry, black cherry, and cassis lead the fruit profile, supported by a concentrated, full-bodied palate. Velvety tannins and a long finish give the wine a broad, polished character.
