Lewis Cellars
Napa Valley Syrah
Napa Valley, California, USA
Stand with my prior assumption that this would be interesting in a few years, definitely drinking a lot better right now. Dark purplish red. Intense and jammy nose with layers of bacon, purple flowers, plums and white pepper. A touch of heat on the palate with medium tannins (6.5/10) and medium plus body. Rich mix of dark berries and caramel on the palate. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2027.

Color: Purpleish red
Nose: Smoky and sweet cherries
Palate: Very very very very extracted, solid tannins, knew it was a napa syrah straight away.
Opinion: would be very interesting in a few years

A terrific version of the Lewis style. Rich, dense, dark fruit, earth, and well structured. Pretty decadent but in balance.
