Enjoyed this wine from a magnum. Decanted for an hour and drank over a few more hours. Nicely aged Napa Cab with some earthy and barnyard notes. Soft tannins and silky mouthfeel. Very enjoyable!

Fully mature and at peak. Might have liked it a tad better 5 years ago with a bit more fruit, but still exceptional. All dark raspberry, leather, earth & tobacco central. No tannins. Great staying power. So savory.

From Magnum. A toast to the memory of Debbie Lewis. Very nice blend of mature black fruit and earth. Vitamin/grassy with sweet honey. Aromatic Cab-iness, AKA nice minerality. Minerality, not a term that I usually associate with Lewis. Still shows very substantial acid to the palate. Still a solid bottle of wine. Dark garnet core, the rim is getting a little bloody in color.

Good aged Cali Cab, still has complex dark fruit flavors with tobacco, grilled herbs and savory notes. Mature tannins.

Another Saturday at Chevalier...Mostly Blind (Chevalier Fine Wines - Chicago IL): Double blind tasting, brief note. Good fruit, slightly sweet. nicely supported with spice. Moderate nuance and texture, this is good now and unlikely to get more interesting.
