Lewelling Vineyards
Wight Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
St. Helena, Napa Valley, California, USA
Arguably our favorite US cab. A little more relaxed on the nose and palate. While still very enjoyable, I felt this has begun its decent. It’s subtle, even though the fruits and wood treatment are still evident, alcohol plays a much more prominent role. I need to try the same vintage once more, but I’m thinking that these wines may not have longevity beyond seven or so years.

Feb 10th, 2024Prior notes apply. This ranks as one of the very best Napa cabs in the less than $100 range - we just love this stuff.

Feb 13th, 2021So impressed with this. In the $75 range, there are few cabs that match this quality.

Dec 14th, 2020Good golly Miss Molly!
Notes of treacle and cedar on the nose. Palate is plush, while the tannins are firm. Mature cherries and vanilla present on the mid palate. Overall, this is polished, focused and a touch decadent.

Forgot to post this gem over the weekend. Seamless, textured and rudely good to the last drop.

Feb 10th, 2020This is a clone of the 15 vintage. Prior notes apply. The 15 puts this in the shade by a gnats cock - and that’s really small 🙂
