WINE OVERVIEW

6th generation Napa farmer Haley Wight proves that good quality wine starts in the farm with this refined Cab.

Tasting Notes

A vibrant and fresh Cabernet with notes of plum and cassis that are balanced with chocolate, graphite and spice.

Food Pairing

Pairs well with hard aged cheeses, spicy lamb stew or a blue cheese burger.

A blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Lewelling Ranch was aged for 20 months in oak, 75% new. Deep garnet-purple in color, it leaps from the glass with lovely ripe blackcurrants, black raspberries and kirsch scents plus hints of dried herbs, pencil lead, menthol and Marmite toast. The full-bodied palate is coated with black fruit preserves, textured by velvety tannins. It has a delightful refreshing quality and finishes long and spicy. Wine Advocate November 2020

Loads of pretty blue fruits, sappy herb, candied orange, and spring flower notes emerge from the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Lewelling Ranch. Medium to full-bodied, it has integrated acidity and a layered, textured, balanced style. Need a great Napa Cabernet under $100? Buy this. Jeb Dunnuck
