Hess Persson Estates

Harvest is in full swing here on Mount Veeder. Today the vineyard crew picked the very first blocks of 2024 Cabernet Sauvignon from our Veeder Hills estate vineyard. All of the fruit goes through the optical sorter then gets a nice cold soak to slow down fermentation. It's looking like a beautiful vintage.

Come Over October is a wonderful reminder—especially in difficult seasons—to invite friends to connect over a glass and a meal.   We're proud to support #ComeOverOctober because we believe that the simple act of sharing wine allows us to share other things that matter— generosity, care, and memories.   “The connection created by wine and food transcends language and cultural barriers. And in today’s world where it is increasingly difficult to connect, wine and food have the ability to slow life down and bring us together.” ~ Sabrina Persson   Celebrate with us as we invite people to come over in October. And learn more about this campaign at https://lnkd.in/g4NDV8if   #Wine #ComeOverOctober #Restaurants #LuxuryWine #NapaValley #Napa #HessCollection #LionsHeadCollection #LionTamer #HessPerssonEstates

It is with many emotions that we announce that Dave Guffy, Chief Winemaker, will be retiring in May of this year. During his more than 25 years with Hess Persson Estates, Dave essentially defined the style of many of the wines that form the bedrock of the company’s portfolio today. From The Hess Collection to Hess Select, and more recently with the Lions Head portfolio, Dave consistently achieved awards, accolades, and 90 scores across a broad range of price points from some of the most respected critics in the industry. Dave’s contribution in establishing a very successful Estate Vineyard program in Napa was equally impressive; an achievement that will bear fruit for many years to come.   “I am enormously proud of what Dave has achieved in his career at Hess Persson Estates. There are few, if any, wine portfolios that have this type of consistent excellence across so many price points and varietals, and for such a broad span of time. I am also proud that we have a working environment that attracts and retains someone of Dave's caliber for the bulk of his career, ultimately giving us more than 25 years of dedicated service. I wish him nothing but the best on his well-earned retirement.” -Timothy Persson, CEO   The team Dave has built is now more than ready to carry the torch for the next generation of winemaking. We are excited to announce that Stephanie Pope will be promoted to Senior Winemaker in recognition of her winemaking expertise and more than 15 years of tenure at Hess Persson Estates.    https://lnkd.in/g_MGE9K8
