Founded in 2000, Stewart Cellars is the collaborative project of founder Michael Stewart, his son James Stewart, daughter Caroline Stewart Guthrie, and son-in-law Blair Guthrie. Together, the family oversees all aspects of the winery’s operations: James, an artist who left behind a burgeoning career in television and music for hands-on work in sales, marketing and distribution; Caroline, who leads the day to day operations along with each wine’s development; and Blair, the winemaker who works to capture the signature terroir of Stewart’s premier estate vineyard and vineyard sources.
Full and complex, this Cabernet based blend features characters of strawberry rhubarb, ripe black cherry and soft vanilla on the nose. Flavors of bright raspberry and blackberry jam are present on the palate, easing into the spice and toast of the French oak. The wine’s subtle oak and seamless structure are integrated with precision, making this red blend a beautiful wine to drink now or to cellar over the next fifteen years.
