Tasting notes
Richer and fuller-bodied with denser fruit and more structure is the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Wight Vineyard. Exhibiting copious quantities of black currants intermixed with notions of camphor, spring flowers and toasty oak as well as a full-bodied mouthfeel, terrific intensity and purity, a voluptuous texture, and some tannin lurking under the lavish fruit and glycerin. It can be drunk now or cellared for another 15-20 years. One of my favorite producers in Napa Valley, the Cabernet Sauvignons from Lewelling always tend to resemble a Napa version of a high class Bordeaux Pauillac. Tel. (707) 963-1685

Lewelling's 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Wight Vineyard is quite a bit more polished than the straight Napa Valley bottling. Voluptuous and inviting, the 2010 flows across the palate with generous dark raspberries, crushed flowers, spices and mocha, all supported by finessed, silky tannins. Sweet floral notes are woven throughout, giving the 2010 a sense of aromatic lift that is hugely appealing. The Wight can be enjoyed today, but it should also age nicely in bottle.
