Hess Collection Mount Veeder - Napa Valley 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon
This wine has a deep garnet color. The nose has aromas of dark fruit, spice and vanilla. The palate mimicked the nose with flavors of dark berried fruit, especially blackberries and baking spice. In addition, there were hints of coffee and smoke to add a bit of complexity and interest to the wines profile. The tannins were present, but finely integrated to create balance in the wine. The weight of the wine really made me think of spring and summer fare, because it did not weigh the palate down as some Cabernet's tend to do. I paired this with a pan grilled rib eye steak and it was a great pairing. I would also pair this wine with pork chops right off the grill, as well as medium flavored cheeses.
Note: This wine was a sample provided by The Hess Collection.
