Lewis Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2022

94 Decanter Aged for 19 months in 75% French oak barrels, the 2022 Reserve bottling elevates its profile with similar blue fruit and blackberry preserve character, enhanced by more pronounced toasty oak spices. This wine dials up the tannin tension to the maximum, delivering a robust and powerful expression. Muscular and brooding, it boasts intensely saline-laced tannins with a dark chocolate quality. 

93 Jeb Dunnuck Solid aromatics of darker berries, graphite, leather, and crushed stone emerge from the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it shows a balanced, elegant mouthfeel, nicely polished tannins, and a great finish. Aged 19 months in French oak (75% new), drink over the next 7-9 years.

93 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Lewis's 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve ratchets up the intensity from the regular bottling, turning the volume up to 11 on the nose of blackberries, cassis and toasty oak. Full-bodied (15.5% alcohol on the label), concentrated and dense, with an almost creamy texture and supple tannins, it lingers easily on the finish, which is a bit clipped by the wine's crisp acids. It's an excellent effort for drinking over the next several years, possibly up to a decade.

91 James Suckling The nose is reserved, with aromas of blackcurrants, violets and dried herbs. The palate is full-bodied and has finely integrated tannins and acidity, with a silky mouthfeel giving notes of dark chocolate, Damson plums and tobacco leaves.
