Hess Cabernet Sauvignon (California, 2004)

3 stars (out of 5)

Nothing spectacular, but this wine was lush and drinkable right from the bottle. Yummy with both my filet mignon and Jen's maple grilled pork tenderloin at Walter's in Portland's Old Port. However, I can boldly assert that this wine does not go with creme brûlée (yuck). Didn't really expect it to, but I still had a sip in my glass and thought I would give it a try.

This nice little sip from Napa Valley was priced "just right" on the restaurant wine list, at $36 per bottle. As always, I would estimate that a wine store purchase would be abour 1/3 of the restaurant price, or about $13.
