No doubt eager to attract this influx of incoming visitors, hundreds of wineries jostle for attention here, making it a tad bewildering to choose one particular favourite. While such big-name distilleries as V. Sattui Winery, Darioush Winery and Castello di Amorosa draw the lion&#8217;s share of footfall every day, we chose to dive a bit deeper and focus on a lesser-known family-owned winery named Stewart Cellars.
A young brand, which came into being only in 2000s, it&#8217;s entirely family-run by founder Michael Stewart, his son James Stewart, daughter Caroline Stewart-Guthrie, and son-in-law Blair Guthrie. With the family overseeing all aspects of the business, it&#8217;s quality and quality alone that is at the focus of this charming little winery. To ensure only the best-quality cuvees make it to the bottles, Stewart Cellars works solely with all six heritage vineyards by famous grape-grower Andy Beckstoffer, who is known for driving Napa Valley into the world-class grape-growing region it is today.

Though it&#8217;s a relatively younger winery, it is mainly its Cabernets that sets apart this particular maison. While their Slingshot range of Cabernet Sauvignons – younger, easier drink – would attract a wine novice, it&#8217;s Stewart Cellars&#8217; Nomad collection that has the potential to catapult them to the big leagues. Particularly impressive is the 2016 Stewart NOMAD Beckstoffer’s Dr. Crane, which scored 97 points in acclaimed wine-critic Robert Parker&#8217;s rating. With flavours of vanilla, blackcurrant and coffee giving way to an oaky, long finish that lingers in the mouth with a velvety feel, it&#8217;s a truly layered full-bodied wine that is sure to be the highlight of any tasting.
Now, fortunately, you don&#8217;t really have to travel thousands of miles to lay your hand on this particular appellation or any others from Stewart Wines.
