Lewis Chardonnay Reserve Napa Valley 2014
A truly obsession-inducing Chardonnay with vivid fruit flavors masterfully balanced across a luxurious texture with an ethereal finish reminiscent of creme brûlée. Launching forth with a strikingly bouquet of ripe orange and lemon citrus, ginger, and hints of honeysuckle, this is a tremendous new effort that includes notes of pear and ripe orchard fruit with delightful accents of creamy oak and pastry crust on the a 30 second finish loaded with peach cobbler. Given the refreshing balance and finesse, this beauty is guaranteed to dazzle tonight through 2020.
Lewis Cellars Winery
In 1992 Randy and Debbie Lewis established a small family winery in Napa Valley and were later joined by their son Dennis in 1999. They are literally hands-on in every aspect of vineyard management, winemaking, sales and distribution, and they thrive on this challenge and the relationships they cultivate in the process. It is their continuing goal to create world-class wines.
