Tasting notes
From a few different vineyards in the valley, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon (20 months in 65% new French oak, has loads to love. Currants, plums, espresso, and hints of oak all emerge from this nicely concentrated, plump, fleshy, beautifully concentrated 2014 that has ripe tannin and good purity of fruit. Drink it over the coming decade. Run by Blair Guthrei, with Paul Hobbs consulting, Steward Cellars has turned out a trio of impressive wines in 2014. The Las Piedras Vineyard is clearly the top wine, but both the Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon are rock solid.

Stewart's 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon is a gorgeous wine that will appeal most to readers who enjoy unctuous, full-throttle Cabernets. Racy, powerful and intense with loads of dark cherry, mocha and exotic spice flavors, shows the most sumptuous side of the vintage. As is so often the case, the Stewart Cabernet is flamboyant yet also well-proportioned.
