2014 Côtière Cabernet Sauvignon Lewelling Ranch Vineyard Napa Valley

WSI94+ WA93+ Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Lewelling Ranch Vineyard offers up notions of crushed blackcurrants, black plums and mulberries with hints of cigar box, menthol, iron ore and bay leaves. Medium to full-bodied, it delivers mouth-filling black fruit flavors with ripe, grainy tannins and a good dollop of cedar, finishing with lingering spice box hints.(10/2017)
VIN93 The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Lewelling Ranch Vineyard is superb. Precise, strikingly beautiful aromatics make a strong first impression. Beautifully sculpted, precise and nuanced, the Lewelling Ranch captures the very best qualities of this terrific Napa Valley vintage. Polished tannins round things out in style. This is a compelling, delicious Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon that will drink well with minimal cellaring. Don’t miss it. (9/2016)
