Lewis Cellars

“Lewis’ style is a supersized, pedal-to-the-metal, open- throttle expression of flavor. Key elements here are the selection of vineyard sites, the timing of harvest dates, severe grape selection and lavish oak treatment. With Cabernet, the Lewsises prefer ultraripe grapes, and they are among the last in the valley to harvest. Their wines lie on the extreme edge of modern winemaking, with an opulence that comes from ripeness and dense, polished tannins; they also feature strong smoky, creamy vanilla and mocha accents from French oak. It’s a seductive interplay of plump grapes and jazzy oak, seen elsewhere in California but also in Washington and Australia, Spain, and Portugal.”
–Wine Spectator

Randy and Debbie Lewis founded Lewis Cellars in 1992 after spending time as winemakers at Bob Miner’s Oakville Ranch Vineyards. With the help of their son in 1999, Lewis Cellars has attracted a devoted following and has received consistent high scores on their Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah wines from critics. Their portfolio has a vast range of wines from select vineyards throughout Napa and Sonoma that show representative examples of California winemaking styles that will mature gracefully.
