Youthful and energetic, this is a wine with a huge concentration of flavors that are juicy and delicious yet seriously structured.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e93 Points Jeb Dunnuck: \u003c\/b\u003e\"Based on 48% Syrah, 21% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, and 6% Petite Sirah, the Lewis 2022 The Big Blend offers darker berries, pepper, meat, violets, and hints of iron and sage. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it's nicely textured and balanced, with ripe tannins. Aged 19 months in French and American oak, drink it over the next 5-7 years.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinery Notes: \u003c\/strong\u003e2022 stands out as one of the most unique vintages in recent Napa Valley history. A long summer of warm days and cool nights came to a crescendo with an impressive five-day heatwave in September. The heat spell eventually gave way to more mild weather through October, allowing the grapes to develop a more refined, elegant character.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Lewis 2022 Cabernet ranks among our best bottlings of Napa Cabernet. Enticing, deep-fruited aromas of black currant, berry and chocolate are stippled with cedar, clove and cinnamon oak spices. The palate centers on opulent core fruit that swirls around a defined structure of supple tannins. With complex undertones of truffle, black pepper and briar, this interplay finally winds down to a long chocolaty finish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lewis Cellars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42527668666450,"sku":"7626938187858","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0959\/3826\/files\/Lewis_Big_Blend.webp?v=1785255314","url":"https:\/\/www.brix26.com\/products\/lewis-cellars-2022-the-big-blend-proprietary-red-napa-valley","provider":"Brix26 Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
