Tasting Notes:

"The 2014 vintage is vibrant with big blackberry fruit notes and sweet pleasing tannins – a surprise coming from Mount Veeder. Tannins on Mount Veeder need the most attention to ensure we craft a wine that is approachable and round, and this vintage delivers on all fronts.  I love the mouth filling notes of espresso and cassis that layer around a very precise black fruit core. This is a wine that can age and age but if you are like me and you like your wines young, I promise you won’t be disappointed.”– Dave Guffy, Senior Vice President of Winemaking and Viticulture

94 Points - Robert Parkers's Wine Advocate, "Composed of 81% Cabernet, 16% Malbec and a dollop a Petit Verdot, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Mt. Veeder has a very deep purple-black color and nose of crushed blackcurrants, blackberries and plums with hints of cedar chest, dried Provence herbs, rose petals and menthol with a hint of rare beef. Full-bodied, concentrated and vibrant in the mouth, it has tons of energy framed by grainy tannins and a lively backbone, finishing long and earthy."

94 Points -  Wine.com, Wilfred Wong, July 2020. "The Hess Collection Mount Veeder Cabernet 2014 comes to the fore with plenty of richness and varietal definition. TASTING NOTES: This wine delivers classic blackcurrants in its aromas and flavors. Pair it with grilled lamb chops topped with fresh mint leaves."

92 Points - Wine Enthusiast, "Juicy black cherry and grippy oak are the stars of the show in this delicious red wine, softened by the addition of 16% Malbec. Elongated tannins support the leathery texture as highlights of cedar and sage play on."
