This highly collectible wine, crafted by The Hess Collection Winery, was made from a tiny, single vineyard – entirely from Mont La Salle Vineyard estate grapes grown at the site of the original Christian Brothers winery where Brother Timothy worked as cellar master for more than 50 years.
The 2004 Brother Timothy Mont La Salle Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Malbec and 5% Petit Verdot, and was aged 22 months in 100% French oak barrels (approximately 50% new oak). It possesses aromas of sweet cassis, red licorice, cedar and herb with a hint of smoke. It is full-bodied with a sweet entry of blackberry and cassis, yet a soft finish with velvety tannins, which allows for good near-term drinking. This Mont La Salle Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is truly “a message in a bottle” – a message of hope for youth at risk. All proceeds from wine sales help the LEF provide educational opportunities for disadvantaged young people at the 12 Lasallian schools in the western United States . This wine is a labor of love, donated by Hess Collection to help young people achieve a better future through education. Such efforts are part of the Christian Brothers’ three-hundred-year tradition of offering education that is both loving and practical.
