2017 Stewart Cellars ‘NOMAD’ Cabernet Sauvignon ‘Georges III Vineyard’ Rutherford Napa Valley

WA93 Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Nomad Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Georges III gives prunes, baked black cherries and crème de cassis and Chinese five spice with hints of dried mint, dark chocolate, mocha and damp soil with a waft of truffles. The palate is full-bodied, firm and chewy with a good core of spicy fruit, finishing long.
JD93 This famous, larger valley floor site has produced a beautiful 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon NOMAD Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard that shines in the vintage. Rocking levels of blue fruits, tobacco, violets, and hints of spring flowers all emerge from the glass, and it’s beautifully balanced, elegant, and lightly textured on the palate. It doesn’t have the deepest mid-palate, but it should drink well for 10-15 years with no issues. 
Estate Notes: Bold and full-bodied, the 2017 Nomad Georges III Cabernet Sauvignon begins with aromas of ripe plum, peach jam, and cinnamon toast. The palate features flavors of cranberry, baking spices, and crème brûlée, while the mix of soft and grainy tannins frame the French oak seamlessly. With a long and subtle finish, the winery recommends decanting this wine now or enjoying through 2045.
