Origin | California, Napa Valley |
In 1992, Randy and Debbie Lewis established a small family winery in Napa Valley and were later joined by their son Dennis in 1999. The Lewis' are literally hands-on about every aspect of vineyard management, winemaking, sales and distribution, and thrive on the challenge and the relationships cultivated in the process. It is their continuing goal to create world-class wines. Total annual production is approximately 9,000 cases of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
From the superb 2018 vintage, Lewis Reserve Cabernet is a full-throttle bottle, packed with fruit, yet balanced with a fine-tuned chassis. Showy and complex, the wine is obsidian dark, layered with black currant, berries, coffee and sweet oak spices. Fleshy on entry, the palate soars with brazen youth in a firmly framed structure that tails away with chocolaty fine-grained tannins.

A big bruiser, blockbuster of a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve boasts a dense purple color as well as a mammoth-sized bouquet of blackcurrants, dark chocolate, roasted herbs, and lead pencil. Thick, rich, and full-bodied on the palate, it has a great mid-palate, building yet bright, polished tannins, and a great finish. It's one big mouthful of fruit at the moment, but it will develop more elegance and nuance with 2-4 years of bottle age, and I suspect it will have two decades of overall longevity.
