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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hestan and Meyer labels are the product of renowned winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown, with the philosophy that quality wine begins in the vineyard.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Vineyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNamed for Meyer Corporation, the largest manufacturer of cookware in the United States. Stanley proudly sits as the company’s CEO. Meyer Vineyard Cabernet is produced from a vineyard block within the Hestan Vineyards Estate just below Helen and Stanley's home. Those estate grapes and the skills of Thomas Rivers Brown brought the 2014 Meyer Cab to be named the #8 wine in the world on Wine Spectator’s Top 100 list of 2017. Meyer Cab continues to shine as our vintages progress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes from the Winemaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe lots for Meyer 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinemaker:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Thomas Rivers Brown\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Napa Valley\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"bg-white py-8 lg:py-10 xl:py-12 space-y-6\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mx-auto max-w-screen-2xl px-4 lg:px-8 xl:px-12 2xl:px-16\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mx-auto max-w-7xl p-4 sm:p-6 md:p-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-ecp-showing=\"products.productdetail\" class=\"ecp-wrapper epub-locale-en\" data-ecp-wrapper=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ecp-component ecp_ProductDetail\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-ecp-id=\"787\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bg-white grid grid-cols-1 lg:grid-cols-2 gap-6\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prose prose-lg mx-auto max-w-none prose-h1:text-4xl prose-headings:font-sans prose-headings:font-light prose-headings:uppercase prose-h1:text-[#8C724D] prose-h2:text-[#8C724D] prose-h3:text-[#8C724D] prose-h4:text-[#8C724D] prose-p:font-serif prose-p:text-stone-900 prose-ul:font-serif\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-ecp-handle=\"technical_notes\" class=\"ecp-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ecp-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% Cabernet sauvignon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.9 pH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6.0 g\/L TA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14.7% alcohol\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18 months in 70% new French oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis crowd-pleaser captivates the senses with enticing aromas of black cherry, red currants, cassis, and a touch of cigar box.
