96 point powerhouse alert!!!! Lewis is red-hot right now coming off Wine Spectator's Wine of the Year honors for their 2013 Cab and loads of off-the-charts press in more recent vintages, this is a Napa stalwart that seems to be doing everything right. The 2018 Syrah is full-bore, uber-ripe, opulent, seamless and an absolute joy to drink. Jeb really loved this wine, calling it a, "sexy beast" and continues, "...Despite its wealth of fruit, it stays light on its feet, is gorgeously balanced, and has a clean, graceful style that keeps you coming back to the glass." We couldn't agree more, this seems to defy the laws of physics because it is so dense and dark but somehow in balance with just enough freshness to keep you coming back for more.

About The Producer

In 1992 Debbie and Randy Lewis established a small family winery in Napa Valley and were later joined by their son Dennis in 1999. Total production is approximately 9,000 cases annually of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. They are literally hands-on in every aspect of vineyard management, winemaking, sales and distribution, and they thrive on this challenge and the relationships they cultivate in the process. It is their continuing goal to create world-class wines.

Reviews

Jeb Dunnuck
The 2018 Syrah is a pedal-to-the-metal, opulent, sexy beast of a Syrah sporting a dense purple color, notes of blueberries, barbecue smoke, bouquet garni, spring flowers, and pepper, full-bodied richness, and silky, ultra-fine tannins. Despite its wealth of fruit, it stays light on its feet, is gorgeously balanced, and has a clean, graceful style that keeps you coming back to the glass.
