Dear Wine Lover,

Hong-Kong born, Stanley Cheng has, over the past two decades, built up one of the world's largest cookware empires. In 1996, he moved his world to Napa, buying a 127-acre ranch, much of which he devoted to vineyards. In 2002 Stanley hired Mark Herold of Merus to become his winemaker. To lure this rising star, he gave Mark carte blanche: the freedom to choose only his best fruit and to spare no expense in his winemaking. Of course, Hestan become red-hot when Robert Parker reviewed the Cabernet. But with such tiny production, few collectors could have hoped to find the wine. Fortunately, we received a small allocation of not only the Cabernet, but also the Chardonnay. Here's your chance; don't miss it.
2003 Hestan Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon $89.89 Limited
Robert Parker: Soft, fleshy, and forward, the richly fruity 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits a deep ruby/purple color as well as aromas of graphite, blueberries, creme de cassis, toasty oak, and licorice. Its impressive attack offers oodles of jammy fruit, and the finish is fleshy, soft, and Pomerol-like. Consume it over the next 10-12 years.
2003 Meyer Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet SauvignonWas $40.00 Sale $35.89 Great Value!
This is baby Hestan at half the price. Rich and fleshy, with a ripe band of black cherry, plum and wild berry shaded by mocha and vanilla-laced oak flavors and finishing with good concentration, depth and firm tannins.

Stanley also entrusted a small Chardonnay vineyard to Mark. The winemaker pulled out all the stops, producing a boldly flavored Chardonnay that's a fitting counterpart to the Cabernet.
