Tasting Notes/Food Pairing Suggestions
Medium-red color. Dark, Bordeaux-like aromas of currant and cedar, medium-full body, bright red currant and ripe cherry-like fruit on the palate, notes of cocoa and roasted coffee, very lively on the palate, a touch of oak (but not sweet) and cedar. Nice balance and shows exceptional length. This is not a fruit bomb--it has the real depth and class that many wines at twice the price wish they had. Should pair well with any veal or beef dish, lamb, pork loin or chops, and chicken dishes made with
mushrooms. Pretty good with medium-strong cheeses, too.About the Name/Label
The wine is named after John Lewelling, a pioneer winegrower and horticulturist who put down roots in St. Helena in 1864. At 138 years, it is one of the oldest continuously-owned family vineyards in the Napa Valley. John Lewelling is also the great-grandfather of Janice Lewelling Wight, Dave & Doug Wight’s Mom.Recent Press & Reviews of Lewelling Cabernet Sauvignon
