Tasting Notes

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon offers a bouquet of creme de cassis together with hints of vanilla and anise. The flavor of cassis over delivers in harmony with bright ruby fruits, rosemary blossom, and damp forest floor. Full-bodied tannin, classic cabernet spice, and a dense texture create a multidimensional and layered wine.

The 2020 Lewelling Vineyards Cabernet is emboldened by dark berries, which meld easily with sweet vanilla, rose petal, and licorice. On the darker end of the fruit spectrum and with substantial but gentle oak tannin, the 2020 has a lasting sway.

Tasting Notes

The 2017 Lewelling Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon is lively with sweet tannin and bright acidity. Macerated strawberry, among darker fruits, vanilla, pepper and spice, and some licorice, come together with impressive lilt. The 2017s are bright and balanced, with plenty of structure behind their lush Lewelling Ranch fruit. We were fortunate to have picked many days before the fires of 2017, capturing the purity of the vintage before the smoke and tragedy.

Tasting Notes

This precocious vintage leaps from the glass with a flourish of dark berry, plus cocoa, vanilla, pencil shaving, and tarragon, then finishes with a gripping spice. 

Review

“Starting with the larger production (but we're only talking 700 cases), the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon comes all from the estate and is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon that spent 20 months in 70% new French oak and was bottled unfined and unfiltered. This sensational effort's purity and balance is something to behold, offering a smorgasbord of creme de cassis, blueberries, tobacco leaf, lavender, damp forest floor, and spring flower-like nuances that develop beautifully with time in the glass. Full-bodied, multi-dimensional, concentrated yet weightless, it's a stunning Napa Cabernet Sauvignon that does everything right. Drink it any time over the coming 15+ years.”

Review

“The base 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon is no entry level wine and offers incredible purity and elegance in its blue fruits, cassis, graphite, and violet-tinged aromas and flavors. This beauty has classic, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon richness, polished tannin, no hard edges, and a great finish. Tasting just like a slightly toned-down version of the Wight Vineyard (Bordeaux lovers will probably prefer this cuvee as it’s slightly more classic in style) it’s a beautiful, layered, multi-dimensional Cabernet Sauvignon to drink over the coming 15+ years.”
