Napa Cabernet Sauvignon Lewelling

Napa Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Lewelling Wine Details
Price: $50.00 per bottle

Description: Thanks to a long mild summer, the fruit went through verasion at a slower pace than usual. This allowed the grapes to develop more color, greater complexity and tannins of greater maturity/higher resolution. The relatively warm weather at the end of the growing season helped produce physiologically ripe fruit. Not all vineyards deserve their own bottling. To be worthy of singlevineyard status, a site must produce wines that are complete, complex and distinct. More then just delivering varietal character, each single-vineyard bottling must convey the unique terroir of the individual site. This 2002 is deep, dense, lush and compelling with the signature dried herb and cassis flavor that characterizes all Lewelling Cabs.
