Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Had this about 2 years ago, set a bottle aside. Michael Stewart came to the Napa Valley in 1999, & purchased Juliana Vineyards, a 1,000 acre vineyards in the Napa Valley. He also had the world-renowned oenologist Paul Hobbs to start the Stewart brand. Dark red almost purple with complex dark berry aromas and smoky oak. On the palate blackberry and cherry, lost freshness, with citrus notes & some spice. Very smooth tannins, savory with lingering finish ending with some mineral tones. Good, drink now!

He also had the world-renowned oenologist Paul Hobbs to start the Stewart brand. Dark red almost purple with complex dark berry aromas and smoky oak. On the palate blackberry and cherry, jammy, with citrus notes and some spice. Very smooth soft tannins, still savory with lingering finish ending with some mineral tones.

Tastes blind and thought it was a Cali Zin. Bright blue fruit and super smooth. Minimal tannins and light on acidity. Very delicious and easy drinking.
