2017 Côtière Cabernet Sauvignon 'Lewelling Ranch'

95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cab Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. This historic vineyard in Napa Valley is located near the western foothills of St.Helena. First planted in 1864 and is still owned by the Wight family, making it one of the oldest continuously owned and farmed vineyards in the Napa Valley. On this magic site, the gravely loam soils and microclimate combine to produce exceptional, distinctly rich and long lived wines that have tremendous character and are highly sought after. Native yeast fermentations, aged in 66% new French oak for 20 months. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. Only 150 six packs made. 

94 points, Vinous Media. “The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Lewelling Ranch Vineyard is precise, with strikingly beautiful aromatics that make a strong first impression. Beautifully sculpted, gorgeously nuanced, this Cabernet captures the very best qualities of this terrific Napa Valley vintage. Graphite, black currants, scorched earth and polished tannins round things out in style.”
