2006 Lewis Cabernet Sauvignon Cuvee L Napa

First created from the spectacular 1997 vintage, the single best barrels from our finest lots fuel this rare wine. Think of Cuvee L as super-charged Lewis Reserve Cabernet. Cuvee L is not produced every year. It is only blended when we have the components to create a wine of greater intensity, depth and distinction than our Reserve Cabernet.

Pull the cork on our 2006 Cuvee L and the tachometer needle instantly hits the red zone. A full tank of explosive aromas, super-saturated fruit and showy oak spices feeds this blend of 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc aged in 100% new French oak barrels. The wine is dark and deeply extracted, with layers of black fruit, and chocolate espresso flavors guaranteed to race your motor. On the track, a broad band of thickly textured tannins brings solid grip through the turns keeping everything on course for mile after mile. 225 cases produced.
