About the Winery:
Hestan Vineyards was born from the culinary passion of Stanley Cheng and his wife, Helen. This husband and wife team has combined innovation and passion to create award winning wines. Stanley pioneered hard-anodized cookware in the 1970s and has continued to improve the ways we cook through innovations and he keeps that innovation going through his wines.

The Hestan and Meyer labels are the product of renowned winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown, with the philosophy that quality wine begins in the vineyard. 

Notes from the Winemaker, Thomas Rivers Brown:

The lots for Hestan Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon are kept separate throughout winemaking to retain individual block and varietal characters. Small capacity fermentation tanks, carefully timed pump-overs and punch-downs, a mix of native and cultured yeasts, the finest French cooperage and extended aging result in a wine noted for its deep flavor and velvety tannins.

On the nose, cherry pie, bright candied raspberry, cranberry and cassis. The palate opens with notes of baked cherry with a hint of red currant and vanilla. The tannins are supple yet firm. Can age for 12-20 years.

  • 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
  • 3.90 pH
  • 6.3 g/L TA
  • 14.6% alcohol
  • 20 months in 85% new French oak

Tasting Notes:
In the glass the wine displays a nearly opaque purple-ruby hue. On the nose, there are aromas of black currant, blackberry cassis anise, sweet and sour plum with a hint of black and red licorice. The palate opens with ripe plum, graham and brown sugar with blackberries and white pepper notes. The wine is balanced with soft tannins and a med long finish.

Ratings & Reviews

94 Points - Wine Enthusiast:
"Super sleek yet densely concentrated, this complex and ageworthy Cabernet is worth an investment. A deep, inky color leads to toasty, dark-chocolatey aromas and saturated blueberry, and cooked black-cherry flavors that are wrapped in layers of fine-grained tannins. Best from 2030–2040." - Jim Gordon (Jul 2023)

93 Points - James Suckling:
"Currants, brambleberries, dark chocolate, dried violets and tobacco leaves on the nose. It’s full-bodied with firm, polished tannins. Excellent structure, depth and concentration. Try in 2023." (Nov 2021)
