Reviews and Ratings

Deborah Podurgiel WSET IV Candidate - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

This is an easy-to-love now or later Cabernet Sauvignon from Hester Creek Estate Winery. Savoury on the nose with dark berry, plum and cassis aromas, the wine is dry, medium-plus-bodied with black currant, dark cherry, cedar, nutmeg, clove and earthy flavours lingering with a smoky vanilla finish. Aged 16 months on its lees in French oak barrels, this is an easy-drinking, graceful 100% Cab. Sauv., produced from grapes sourced from select blocks of the estate winery's Golden Mile Bench vineyard. Enjoy with rosemary and garlic rubbed lamb chops from the grill. Tasted November 2022.

Hester Creek Estate Winery Storied Series wines are small lot wines produced from sustainably grown grapes with a distinctive terroir, thru innovative and careful winemaking practices.
Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Rich and full bodied, with balancing acidity. Notes of black and blueberry, rich cassis, cedar, mocha, and warm spices. Full bodied with some grippy, drying tannins, and that refreshing and balancing acidity on the palate. Berry notes are luscious and ripe, mingled with warm spicy notes. Enjoy with grilled beef or lamb.
