Hess Selection Lion Tamer 2018

Hess Selection Lion Tamer Cabernet Sauvignon Red Wine 750ML

The signature of Lion Tamer is a generous palate of black raspberry and surprisingly lush tannins. Malbec serves as our 'tannin tamer' in this wine, but on its own brings heady floral aromas of violets and bold, juicy flavors upon entry. Layering in Zinfandel, Petite Sirah and Cabernet Sauvignon create complex notes of black plum and blackcurrant with subtle elements of cocoa. The wine’s plush texture and ripe, juicy core of black fruit are brightened by 2% of Mourvèdre that deliver the perfect amount of cheerful red fruit. The blend together creates a wine with delicious notes of black plum, cassis and boysenberry that are concentrated in the mid-palate and enveloped in bright cherry notes that deliver a graceful elegance and balanced finish.
