Textbook Cabernet Sauvignon Mise En Place 2016 brand_The Hess Collection Chinese five spicesVintage 2016 was unseasonably cool and led to late bud break and later than normal harvest. Modest shatter occurred but not to the extent of 2015 and so while harvest was smaller than average, we look at it as quite normal. The longer season allowed for perfect flavor development in Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot across Oakville. Blend: 89% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11% Merlot.
