Iron Corral is Hess' first new estate wine in 20 years. A beautiful balance of Mountain and Valley Floor Estates, this wine delivers beautiful fruit, enhanced by the complexity of integrating structured fruit from Hess' mountain vineyards.
JAMES SUCKLING 91 POINTS - "An impressively structured, estate-grown wine that's so concentrated, vivid and linear. Tangy red fruit like cranberries, red cherries and pomegranates are snug in fine-grained tannins and good acidity. Feels a bit restrained at this young age. Drinkable now, but best from 2029."
WINE ADVOCATE 90 POINTS - "A blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% each Malbec and Petit Verdot, aged 18 months in 40% new French oak, the 2022 Hess Collection Cabernet Sauvignon Iron Corral delivers a classic cherry and cassis nose dressed up by some cedary notes. Medium to full-bodied, it's impressively silky for the vintage, with ample length."
