Hestan Vineyards Stephanie Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

★ 95 Points                                                     A blockbuster new Cabernet blend from Hestan Vineyards.  Usually only available to mailing list members we have a small amount of this tiny production Cabernet while our allocation lasts! 94 Points Brix26: "Classic and harmonious, a very solid Napa 100% Cabernet that’s dry and firmly tannic in the mouth. Feels balanced, harmonious, ageworthy, a wine without seams or faults. Fruity, but not overly so, with the blackberries and black currants generously balanced by herbs, minerals and cedar. Very classic and noble wine, and one to cellar through at least 2022." Brix26 Inside Scoop:  "Stephanie Cabernet comes from relative Napa Valley newcomer Hestan Vineyards, who are turning out some great high-end wines.  The Stephanie Cabernet has quietly become one of our top-selling Cabernets over the last 3 vintages for good reason:  its got all the hallmarks of a "classic" California Cabernet: plenty of rich berry fruit and that dusty tannin; not a wimpy Cab and not a giant fruit bomb.  If you're a Cab-lover, Stephanie should be next on your wish list.  Every time a customer calls and asks what new Cabernet we recommend, we'll send them Stephanie and 9 times out of ten they reorder a case!"
