Tasting Notes/Food Pairing Suggestions
Medium-red color with aromas of ripe currants & cherries, vanilla, cedar, and exotic spices. This medium-full bodied wine shows waves of bright red currant, ripe black cherry, plum and blackberry flavors, and it finishes with touches of roasted coffee, dark chocolate and clove. The tannins are full and rich adding a nice supple quality to the wine. Very 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. Pairs 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
