Hess Maverick Ranches Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold Cabernet Sauvignon from the Paso Robles region that pays homage to the unconventional spirit of founder Donald Hess. The wine offers intense aromas of red cherries, raspberries, black currants, and blackberries, complemented by notes of cedar, black pepper, cardamom, and subtle spices. On the palate, it captivates with a full-bodied and velvety texture featuring flavors of black cherries, mulberries, and dark chocolate, while soft tannins lead to a long finish with notes of roasted espresso, vanilla, and oak. The 2023 vintage stands out for its freshness, lively acidity, and rich fruit concentration thanks to the long and slow ripening of the grapes.
