Youthfully compact in feel, this has some juicy, coiled up energy behind its core of blackberry and red currant fruit. Brambly grip and a roasted apple wood edge help drive the finish. Some short-term cellaring should let this round into form. Best from 2025 through 2035. 3,150 cases made.

Lavishly spiced and richly flavored, this Cabernet Sauvignon stirs mocha into dark fruits. Approachable and mouthwatering, enjoy this wine now or hold for the next decade.

An impressively structured, estate-grown wine that's so concentrated, vivid and linear. Tangy red fruit like cranberries, red cherries and pomegranates are snug in fine-grained tannins and good acidity. Feels a bit restrained at this young age. Drinkable now, but best from 2029.

A blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% each Malbec and Petit Verdot, aged 18 months in 40% new French oak, the 2022 Hess Collection Cabernet Sauvignon Iron Corral delivers a classic cherry and cassis nose dressed up by some cedary notes. Medium to full-bodied, it's impressively silky for the vintage, with ample length.
