"The Stagecoach Vineyard has consistently been an ideal source for our Small Block Series Syrah, with this vintage once again delivering us beautiful fruit. The wine is deeply concentrated in color, with aromas of blueberry, boysenberry and a touch of mocha lifting from the glass. The aromas are welcoming, filling the senses and inviting the first sip that is marked by black fruit flavors and delicious mouthfilling tannins. The notes of cassis and black plum intertwine with brown spice and toasted oak, and are supported by a firm acidity that persists through the lengthy finish."

A pioneer by nature, Donald Hess was determined to defy convention and pursue winemaking at elevation, so in 1978, he established The Hess Collection Winery on the site of one of the regions oldest wineries on Mount Veeder in the Napa Valley. Although few in Napa Valley were cultivating vines at elevation, Donald Hess believed the volcanic slopes of Mount Veeder provided the ideal combination of soils and microclimates to yield elegant wines with rich, complex flavors.
