Lewis Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2018

Lewis has never been shy when it comes to big, powerful, and ample wines. This is the newest in that vein and man! It’s impressive. 95 points!

We would be hard-pressed to find a more consistent producer in the Napa Valley. Lewis delivers the goods year after year without fail. You all likely remember the tremendous and flashy 2013 vintage cabernet that took home Wine Spectator’s cherished "Wine of the Year" cabernet award a few years back – well, this is about as close as you can get to that today. Just a beautiful Reserve cabernet from the absolutely spectacular 2018 vintage. This delivers the textbook pedal-to-the-metal, Lewis style in spades, and we have it for you at by far and away the best price in the U.S.A.!

In 1992, former Indy Car superstar, Randy Lewis, alongside his wife, Debbie, established a small family winery in Napa smack dab in the center of Napa’s valley floor. Just like his driving days, he created a style of full-throttle, push-it-to-the-limit wines that have become some of the most consistently revered wines in Napa Valley’s storied history. More recently, the Lewis family sold to Paso Robles Justin Winery, but the family has stayed on – continuing to lead the team to create memorable, small-production wines that showcase tremendous Napa vineyard sources from Calistoga, Saint Helena, Rutherford, and beyond.

The heady, inky, and powerfully concentrated wine leaps from the glass with aromas of shaved chocolate, baked cherries, black currants, vanilla, and violets. In the mouth, velvety and plush sensations of more berries and cherries, with a spicy, pencil lead minerality and toasty, expansive barrel sensations, finishing with a bite of licorice. Certainly stuffed with plenty of elements to age over two decades, but the perfect stand-alone fork and knife-er wine for any big and bold Napa cab lover hell-bent on hedonism!
