- Van The Man - 03-18-1999 Nice little wine here. Especially for the dough! 1994 Hess Collection Cabernet Sauvignon; Napa Valley (CA, US) - $19.99 Nice color although nothing out of the ordinary one way or the other. Enticing nose filled with black cherry, sweet blueberry, cedar, vanilla and leather. On the palate, a bit less depth than I anticipated with good fruit but not big and rich like many '94s. Somewhat tart but that could be due to less than perfect storage. (Note: This bottle has not been stored in a climate controlled cellar) Overall, great bottle of wine with our grilled Porterhouse steak although I'm not certain this wine will break any records for longevity. - RickBin389 - 03-20-1999 good call Van, i like the Hess cabs - nice consistency & ready to drink on release... - Van The Man - 03-20-1999 I guess the only thing that surprised me Rick was the fact that this particular bottle seemed to not be as deep as others have been. I guess I expected more for some reason. Otherwise, you're right, good on release. |
