The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Lewis Vineyard displays notes of mineral, balsamic, violets, and assorted black fruits. Made in a racy, elegant style, in the glass it reveals excellent balance, good depth, and concentrated, succulent flavors. Give it 2-3 years of cellaring and drink it from 2013 to 2023. Tel.

This is the artist label Cabernet; still youthful and showing primary fruit flavors of cassis and black cherry. The barrel notes are prominent and not yet fully resolved: a Bourbon barrel streak, a vein of vanilla, a seam of tobacco. All interesting, but not quite knit together.——P.G.(7/1/2011)—— 91

Despite being given an extra year of bottle age, the 2006 Lewis Vineyard designate remains tight and unyielding upon first being opened. With alcohol under 14%, this pure varietal achieves classic styling. The tannins are firm and ripe, and threads of herb stitch together the tart fruit flavors of red currant and raspberry. Quite tart, juicy and fresh, it has the structure to age gracefully for decades.——P.G.(8/1/2010)—— 93

The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Lewis Vineyard is purple in color with a fragrant bouquet of lavender, cigar box, Asian spices, herbs, and black currant. It has plenty of stuffing and concentration but a slightly bitter edge emerges on the palate. I’d like to retaste it in a year to see if this is a representative bottle. www.dunhamcellars.com
