Description

From dozens of individual lots, representing hundreds of barrels, Lewis Cellars narrows the field to just one defining blend. Randy, Dennis and the team climb the barrel stacks searching for singularly expressive barrels from the highest ranking lots in the cellar. Once discovered, samples from these barrels are put through a rigorous blending program where the winemaking team works tirelessly to create one single barrel that rises above them all. This barrel highlights the seamless integration, raw power, and concentrated intensity that enthusiasts have come to expect from Lewis Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon. This 100 percent Cabernet Sauvignon is aged for 19 months in new French oak.
