The Hess Collection Shirtail Ranches wines are carefully crafted for restaurants to complement a diversity of cuisines. These wines are a collaboration between Hess Winemaker Dave Guffy and the Winery’s Executive Chef Chad Hendrickson with food and wine pairing in mind. Each wine is handcrafted with careful attention to highlight fruit expression and balanced acidity in order to deliver a wine that is great by the glass and pairs beautifully with food. For over 30 years, guests and sommeliers alike have felt confident choosing Hess wines for quality, consistency, and value. This is why we’re consistently among the Top Restaurant Brands in the Wine & Spirits Restaurant Poll. “Cabernet Sauvignon is so versatile as it can be paired well with many types of foods. This wine complements all types of meats including a rack of lamb, pork tenderloin and nice cuts of beef. It stands up to the rich flavors of the heartiest pasta dishes and Italian sauces.” -Chad Hendrickson, Executive Chef
