Vintage Character The 2015 Stewart Cellars Las Piedras Nomad Cabernet Sauvignon is a single-vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet sourced from Beckstoffer Las Piedras in St. Helena, one of the valley’s most distinctive historic sites. In Napa, 2015 was a small-yielding, high-quality vintage shaped by a warm growing season and an early harvest, producing wines of concentration and structure; in the best sites, it delivered impressive intensity and pedigree. Las Piedras, literally “the stones,” is prized for its rocky, well-drained soils in western St. Helena, a terroir that helps give Cabernet both power and a marked mineral edge.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 96+ points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, this wine opens with penetrating aromas of blackberry, cassis, violet, dark plum and graphite, layered with cedar, dark chocolate and sweet tobacco. The palate is full-bodied and firmly built, with dense black fruit, polished but authoritative tannins, and a core of stony freshness that keeps the richness focused rather than heavy. The finish is long, savory and persistent, making it an excellent partner for dry-aged ribeye, roast lamb with rosemary, or grilled portobello mushrooms.
Winery Background Stewart Cellars is a family-owned Napa producer founded by Michael Stewart, with a focus on small-lot wines from top vineyard sources and a house style that balances Napa depth with refinement. The Nomad series reflects the family’s pursuit of exceptional vineyard sites, and this bottling showcases the pedigree of Beckstoffer fruit through meticulous farming and selective harvesting. Winemaker Blair Guthrie is known for a precise, site-driven approach, and the élevage typically emphasizes French oak to frame the fruit without obscuring vineyard character. In micro-production quantities, this is a compelling expression of modern Napa Cabernet with genuine single-vineyard identity.
