The Hess Collection
Donald Hess was attracted to Mount Veeder’s high elevation and challenging mountain climate, believing this rugged land would produce great grapes, leading to even greater wines. Our estate vineyards are sustainably farmed, as directed by our founder’s guiding philosophy: “Nurture the land, return what you take.”
