'97 Hess Estate Napa

[Drew]

Popped this with my son and daughter in law t'other night. Rich plum flavors, very plush but not complex. Almost opaque. Flavors follow nose of plush dark fruit with a touch of oak. 20 sec. finish. A nice wine but not sure it's worth $20 due to it's one dimensionality...will have to revisit. 13%Alc/vol.

Hi Drew. I posted on this sucker a while back with about the same notes. I put a box in the cellar and will give it another 6 mos before trying agin'. Think the solid core of fruit will expand with a little time. Sure not on par with the Collection, but could make a nice intermeddiate jug for the bucks. There's a lilt to your writing...Do it be the new abode? WW [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img]

Yes it's called being high on exhaustion! I got more projects going on than Bob Villa at a remodeling convention.
