Community Tasting Note

Yack Man Likes this wine: 93 points
December 29, 2019 - I purchased this vintage not expecting much, it seems that Lewis Cabs have deviated southward from an nicely established course after the 2013 vintage in my opinion. Pop and poured, it started off with an expressive lavender nose and a hint of a vegetal / earthy aroma. On the palate, nice berry flavors black and blueberry, dark currants, and oak, actually better than I expected. The 2017 vintage is showing to be more of a hit and miss, but this wine is good. The extraction is nice, but it's slightly lacking in depth compared to other wines in its class that I have tasted. All said, this was a pretty decent surprise. Could this wine developer further to better level? Probably its a young wine. I have half a bottle remaining and if it merits, I will add to my notes. In conclusion, this bottle was better than expected, perhaps I will buy more. 92+ 93 Points

I believe I purchased three or four bottles, but I have not tried a bottle since the date of that tasting. I would expect it to be better. With some time having past, perhaps it’s time For me to try it again?
