About Hestan Vineyards
Helen and Stanley Cheng bought a former cattle ranch on Napa's eastern slopes in 1996 and planted it in small blocks over the years, 110 acres now, mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cab Franc. Winemakers Jeff Gaffner and Thomas Rivers Brown make four labels here; the 2014 Meyer Cabernet hit #8 on Wine Spectator's Top 100 in 2017.
