wine of the night: 2006 Hestan 'Meyer Vineyard' Cabernet Sauvignon



More like today's wine of the afternoon, this Napa Cab just punched me in the face and I liked it. Tongue dry, mouth (and eyes) watering, instantly drunk. Apparently not meant to be an afternoon wine, but rather a big, bold, classically fruit-driven Napa Cab to enjoy with a big, bold dinner. Or sip late night, paired with cigar aromas swirling in the evening air.

2006 Hestan 'Meyer Vineyard' Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, $54.99

Enjoy! For me, it's afternoon nap time.

  1. Just had this wine with dinner last night at Hugos Celler in Las Vegas at the advice of the somlieay. Wow, great berry taste, wonderful finish. This wine is well worth twice the price.
