Dear Oenophile,
We just received our small allocation of
this new wine from Hestan, fresh out of the gate
with a 93-point score from Wine Spectator. At under $50, this is
a steal in Napa Cab. The wine is lush, creamy, and rich, very
much the crowd-pleaser. Only 5 cases to sell! New purchases from
last week a little further down, with a bevy of interesting
wines ---- Stefan
THE NEW:

2005
Hestan Vineyards "Stephanie" Cabernet Napa Valley
$49.95! ($299 6-pk)
WS93 very
limited!
"93 points: A complex, rich
and creamy-textured style, with layers of currant, mocha, wild
berry and vanilla-laced oak, all folding together nicely.
Tightly focused, long and persistent, with an excellent balance
of tannins and acidity. Best from 2009 through 2015. 930 cases
made."
