Dear info@thewineconsultant.com,   This is IT!  I always hear, "I love Lewis Cabs, but I'll just wait for the RESERVE."  I can honestly say that Lewis Cellars has become iconic for Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.  If you have not experienced the gustory thrill of drinking this revvvvved up wine, .....will then, where have you been?  Lewis Cellar's stunning track record has established its Reserve Cabernet as a man-datory purchase for most California collectors.  Now comes the limited release of the 2005 Lewis Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon - Napa Valley, from the winery's trove of impeccable vineyard sources, including the rugged Pritchard Hill overlooking Lake Hennessey (this "high rent neigborhood" is home to David Arthur, Bryant Family, Chappellet...).   Last July when Randy and Debbie Lewis hosted their 15th anniversary party to commemorate the first vintage of Lewis Cellars in 1992, we were jet lagged from Europe, but more than pleased to attend.  The event was held in the garden of their beautiful home situated along a ridgeline across from Pritchard Hill.  The boys from Swan Oyster Depot in San Francisco were shucking up a storm, and Richard Reddington, chef and owner of Redd's in Yountville (one star Michelin). was catering with an assortment of the most delectible small plates.....the fresh peach with foie gras on toasted brioche was a favorite.....okay, the pork belly too!  But, of course, the star of the show was the wine, especially the Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon.  And we had the rare opportunity to indulge in great vintage after great vintage from magnums to imperials: 1994, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2004.  The 2005 will certainly join this grand fraternity!   The "2005 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is a broad-shouldered blend of 93% Cabernet and 7% Cabernet Franc, crafted from Pritchard Hill, Calistoga, Rutherford and Oak Knoll hillside vineyards. The nose is saturated with blackberry and sweet oak spice, tinged with toffee and chocolate. On entry the wine is brooding, tightly packed with fleshy fruit and sinewy texture that gathers richness and length on the palate with satisfying, fine-grained tannins."   05 LEWIS CABERNET SAUVIGNON RESERVE Napa Valley  List Price: $125.00   Our Price: $118.95 per bottle.     ORDER NOW!    LIMITED ALLOCATION AVAILABLE!
