In crafting this wine, we strive for the perfect balance between hedonismand elegance. By incorporating a touch of Malbec into the blend, we enhance the softness of the tannins, resulting in a smooth and seamless experience. These supple tannins envelop the palate, revealing layers of blackberries and dark cherries, complemented by hints of freshly ground coffee. The wine is beautifully balanced, featuring well-integrated sweet oak notes that culminate in a lengthy, elegant finish. Pair Lion Tamer Cabernet Sauvignon with Pork Osso Bucco with Mushrooms, Crispy Potatoes and Chard.

For the first time since The Lion has been made, it's all Cabernet Sauvignon, from selected blocks on the winery's Mount Veeder estate. On the nose, the 2022 Hess Collection Cabernet Sauvignon The Lion is almost floral, with herbal notions of mint, thyme and sage all accenting cherries and cassis. It's medium to full-bodied, concentrated and softly velvety on the mid-palate, before easing into a long finish, framed by softly dusty tannins.
