Solid if you are in the mood for a California Cab at a reasonable price. Fruit forward but not over the top, pleasant finish.

Cork was perfect and no signs of bricking; this was a surprise out of the bottle - I thought this would be well past it's prime but it's not. Now that being said, it is a little disjointed and past it's peak but it still shows really well. I suggest drinking with food and without decant as it seems to slide a bit as it airs out. Either way, open soon and enjoy as it won't be enjoyable much longer.

Wild berries, vanilla, cedar, and plums. Medium tannins and bright acidity harmonized with the core. Party pick.

Nose of cassis, vanilla, green pepper and black pepper. Weak tannins and acidity. Palate of blackberry, blueberry, molasses and vanilla extract. Moderate vanilla finish. Not a fan of the overpowering vanilla

This bottle followed closely the TN of our previous bottle some nine months ago -- and was even more enjoyable -- leading me to believe that this wine is not past its prime and may continue to drink well for several more years.
After a 40 minute decant this medium plus bodied wine showed lots of dark fruit and spice, some earth, balancing acidity and a touch of tannin on the finish. Air it out and enjoy at will.

Interesting red blend - not cab sauv dominant but definitely smells like it (primarily petite sirah, zin, and syrah). Lots of fruit here with a hint of sweetness on the palate, finishes somewhat long.

Well made. You either enjoy this buttery style of California Chardonnay or you don't. Rombauer-lite.

I’m not a big fan of California Cabs but this 2016 Hess Selection exceeded my expectations. Even without a decant this wine has a pleasant nose of dark cherries, followed by medium body, almost creamy, with more dark fruit, cassis, and just enough oak. Tannins and acidity are in balance with the rest of the package. Very nice, and a good value for the price.

Local Wine Shop Tasting (My average score for April went way down) (Bloomington, MN): Is there a good Chardonnay made in California less than $15? Have not found one in a long time. This is also bad. Chemical taste with some fruit and a touch of oak.

An OK wine. I poured a half bottle through an aerator and into decanter, per usual, where it sat for 30 minutes before drinking. Not a lot on the nose. Plenty of cherry in the mouth, but little else. If you have any, drink up. And recommend just a pop and pour.

Wow, what a surprise! A 39-year-old cellar orphan, a low-end Cab when bought, and still excellent, as good as it ever was in its day. Nice nose, good color, too. Another testament to perfect storage.
Some may wonder how I have so many oldies left undrunk... it happens several ways: one is you drink 8 or 9 bottles of a case and kind of get tired of it, so put the last two or three on a bottom shelf. Another is that it's just not as good as you thought when you bought it. A third is that it's really good and you save a couple to have with company, then forget about them. A fourth is that you get other stuff you like a lot more, so every time you browse for dinner you pass it up in favor of the new ones. The result is I probably have 20 or more orphans left down there that I bring up now and then not expecting much, am surprised when they are good like this one.
