When you are in the land of fresh seafood, it seems unlikely to be eating anything else. However a thick juicy steak grilled at the water's edge is as enticing as ever, so one might as well break out a decent Cab to go with that seaside Slab!
The 2014 Hess Select opens with a fragrant bouquet of berries and cherries with a touch of cedar shavings. The flavors swirl in the glass, with an abundance of cherries and red raspberries, backed by a little plum and a touch of vanilla. The tannins are sturdy yet smooth with a lingering aftertaste. The alcohol content is 13.8%, and Norm's score is 88.
