Hess also is an importer of a wide range of wines from places like Australia and South Africa and also has a new pinot noir project called Sequana (three wines from Sonoma County fruit).
The attractive, art-graced tasting room is filled with little winery-only treasures like a gewurztraminer, a cabernet franc and malbec.
Without much fanfare, Hess is on the move.
Wine of the Week: 2006 Hess Cabernet Sauvignon, Three-County Blend ($17) -- Superb balanced aroma of red and black cherry fruit, dried herbs, and delicate spice. Great midpalate fruit, and wonderful taste to match with red meats.
