2011 HESTAN VINEYARDS STEPHANIE CABERNET SAUVIGNON, NAPA VALLEY CALIFORNIA

A complex and richly layered wine, the Stephanie Cabernet Sauvignon unfurls with enticing notes of blackberry, blueberry, and cranberry. After opening for about 15 minutes, notes of dark blossom, violets, rose, and brown spices take over. Its fine-grained tannins lead to a wonderful mid-palate and long, integrated finish.
