Hester Creek Estate Winery Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 label
I have two bigger red BC wines for you to consider for your holiday festivities: Hester Creek Estate Winery Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 and their Merlot 2022. Let me tell you about them. Did you notice the difference in the labels? The Cabernet Sauvignon label has extra info about the wine. This wine is from their Storied Series, so each label tells a bit of the story about the winemaking process via the three callouts on the front label and the write-up on the back. First callout: Blocks 7+8 – coming from Blocks 7 and 8 on their estate property. Second callout: 16 – The handpicked grapes were fermented for 16 days and aged for 16 months in French oak. Third callout: shows a large grape and a small one. They really limit the irrigation on these vines, which results in smaller, more concentrated berries. As such, the icon depicts a smaller-than-average grape to represent the smaller berries.
My Wine Tasting Notes
I always taste wines I review twice. The first time upon opening and then the second time, the next day. For these two wines, the decant time was an extra day in length and shows how well these wines present themselves with exposure to the air. The Merlot comes with a screw cap so quick and easy to open, while the Cabernet Sauvignon comes with a nice solid piece of cork.
