2004 Stewart Excels For 3rd Year in a Row
 The
2004 Stewart Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is the third great vintage that I have tasted from this winery. At a
recent party the 2003 Stewart was the hit of the night, followed closely by the 2004. There were some big wines
served at the party and the Stewart was the crowd pleaser. If you are looking for a wine to enjoy today and that
will also age gracefully, this is a candidate to add to your collection.
The 2004 Stewart Cabernet retails for $62 per bottle as per their website. I rate the wine
95/100 points and I expect that score to rise as the wine matures and fully evolves. The
winemaker is Paul Hobbs so you can understand why the Stewart project has had such great success.
I encourage readers to join the Stewart mailing list by completing the VIP introduction Form below or
by visiting their website at
www.stewartcellars.com if your prefer.
Stewart Cellars was founded in 2000 by Michael and Anne Stewart of Houston, Texas with a philosophy to consistently
produce fabulous Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon from some of the finest vineyards in the Napa and Russian River
Valleys.
If you can't find the wine locally and if the winery is sold out, you should call John Rittmaster at
Prima Wines in California who introduced me to Stewart Cabernet. He normally has a great allocation and can
offer the 2004 for sale and while you are speaking with John, ask him what other "hot" new projects from Napa his has in
stock. John's recommendations are always spot on.
