About
TASTE WITH THE WINEMAKER
“Monterey’s combination of moderate climate and marine influences from the Pacific Ocean keep the grapes balanced and able to develop fully ripe flavors. Hess Select Chardonnay is medium-bodied with layers of sliced peaches and golden delicious apples, finishing crisp and clean with well-balanced acid. With this wine, my mission is clear: don’t screw up a good thing. Gladly, this wine makes keeping people happy very easy.”
- Dave Guffy, Chief Winemaker
