Stewart Cellars
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Decanted 2 hours - fantastic - first time - I am believer that these small family vineyards in Napa take great pride, care and love in crafting their wines and we all get to sample excellence from their work - notes for the wine are a deep garnet color - Smells of vanilla, blackberry, and dark cherries with full-bodied palate - tannins are plush and powerful, but not overbearing, giving this wine a beautiful structure - I decided to drink now and it is fine but will get better as ages - plenty of years left - simple words that I can use to describe are pure pleasant and beautifully balanced - all smiles!!!!!!!

Very interesting wine. At first, after about 1.5 hours of decanting, it was was very rich fruity and oaky, warm alcohol. Strong, distinct elements. And then it turned into a harmony. It all settled down a bit and the wine became integrated, more mineral, dusty earth, darker fruits, currant. Loved it. We sipped it for several hours. Perfect match with Dutch Beemster cheese.
