His limited Hestan Cabernet release now available. previous vintage 96 Points Robert Parker: "Hestan Vineyards’ Cabernet Sauvignon Estate, which emanates from their 56 acres of Bordeaux varietals, is aged 20 months in new French oak and bottled without fining or filtration by proprietors Stanley and Helen Cheng. A beautiful set of aromatics consisting of white flowers, blueberries, blackcurrants and black cherries emerge from this opaque ruby/purple wine. The palate is flawless, with a seamless integration of acidity, alcohol, tannin and wood. It is full-bodied, rich and impressive. Add to that its thrilling purity and length, and this is a top-notch, world-class Cabernet Sauvignon from Hestan. Drink it over the next 20-30 years." Winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown: "On the nose you will find notes of anise and black pepper. With intense mid-palette structure and vitality, this wine is loaded with blackberry, currant, rich maple and cassis. The long lasting finish holds savory flavors of plum, dark chocolate and toasted oak. In terms of color, structure and concentration, this is arguably the biggest Hestan Vineyards wine I have ever made.  The flavor on this vintage has a much darker fruit profile than its predecessors and for me it is a vintage to cellar.”
