Vintage Character 2016 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 coveted vineyard sites. The 2016 vintage is widely regarded as excellent in Napa Valley, with a long, even growing season that delivered both richness and freshness, giving this wine its poised power and precision. True to the vineyard’s name, Las Piedras is defined by rocky, well-drained soils that naturally limit vigor and concentrate fruit, helping shape a Cabernet of depth, structure, and distinctive mineral edge.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing The Wine Advocate awarded this wine 95 points, underscoring its status as a serious Napa Cabernet. The bouquet opens with cassis, blackberry, black cherry and violet, followed by graphite, espresso, cedar and dark chocolate. On the palate it is full-bodied and layered, with dense dark fruit, firm tannic architecture, polished texture, and a long finish marked by stone, spice, and savory persistence. Pair it with herb-crusted rack of lamb, dry-aged ribeye, or grilled portobello mushrooms.
Winery Background Founded by the Stewart family in 2000, Stewart Cellars has built its reputation on small-production wines from elite Napa Valley vineyards, with a particular focus on Cabernet Sauvignon. The winery’s philosophy centers on expressing the identity of each site through careful farming, restrained extraction, and lot-by-lot attention in the cellar. For the Nomad series, fruit is sourced from benchmark vineyards and vinified in a style that balances concentration with clarity, typically supported by élevage in French oak. That combination of top-tier sourcing, artisanal scale, and site-driven intent makes Stewart Cellars especially compelling for collectors of modern Napa classics.
