The Hess Collection - Iron Corral 2021

Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

Named for our Iron Corral Vineyard and first released in 2019, this Cabernet Sauvignon is our youngest estate wine. Sourced from both Mount Veeder in the west and Pope Valley in the far northeast, this wine captures the extremes of Napa Valley. The beautiful, full fruit retention of the valley floor is complemented by the complexity and structure of the mountain. Approachable notes of dark cherry accented by luxurious flavors of cocoa and espresso, Enjoy now or lay down for the years to come.

Blend: 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7.5% Malbec, 2% Petit Verdot, 1.5% Petite Sirah

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. 

Named for a Pope Valley vineyard acquired by the Hess family in 2019, the 2021 Hess Collection Cabernet Sauvignon Iron Corral is a blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7.5% Malbec, 2% Petit Verdot and 1.5% Petite Sirah. Blackberries and black cherries mark the nose, joined by hints of vanilla and cedar (maturation was 18 months in 40% new oak). Ripe and fruity, this full-bodied offering is softly dusty and approachable young, but it has enough tannins to think it will age for up to a decade from the vintage.
