The 2015 Hess Select Cabernet Sauvignon starts with aromas of plum, ripe fruit, black cherry, spice, and a little smoke. The wine has a lush, round mouthfeel and tastes of plum and vanilla with a lot of oak and soft tannins. All those other varietals add some nice complexity to this medium-bodied wine. It finishes with lingering spice and notes of chocolate. This is a great value and a great wine to have on hand to pair with red meat, BBQ, and even with a pizza. We found the wine to be a little smoother on day 2 but it may have lost a little spice as well.
