Hess Collection "The Lioness" Chardonnay is an estate-grown Napa Valley white wine crafted by Hess Persson Estates. The name pays homage to the women of the Hess family who lead the winery, blending the abundance and power of Napa Valley with precise winemaking to showcase the estate fruit.

This Chardonnay is aged 15 months in French oak, producing a rich and creamy wine with luxurious texture and layered flavors. The nose offers generous aromas of crème brûlée, salted butterscotch, and warm vanilla, lifted by notes of lemon verbena, blood orange, and grilled baguette. The palate delivers brioche, green apple, and Meyer lemon with well-integrated honeyed citrus and toasted almond undertones. The wine has earned a 92-point rating from Wine Spectator and high marks from Wine Enthusiast.
