Score 91/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2005
Deep medium ruby. Superripe aromas of smoked meat, exotic woodsmoke, pepper and leafy herbs. Then fat, broad and very smooth, with sweet dark berry flavors that still seem a bit youthfully unformed. Slightly syrupy on the finish, with a bit of dryness from the oak.

Score 95/100 · Drink 2007-2018, Robert Parker, Feb 2005
Hestan’s 2002 is a 275-case cuvee of very impressive Cabernet Sauvignon. This dense, opaque blue/purple-colored offering’s smoky, graphite, black currant, and berry-scented nose is gently infused with notions of toast and spice box. Full-bodied, opulent, pure, and expansive, this layered wine exhibits a seamless integration of wood, acid, and tannin. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2018. Tel. (650) 343-0380
