An outstanding wine as well as a good value, the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Lewelling Ranch has up-front, lively red and black fruits as well as some cedar and chocolaty nuances. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, nicely textured, and balanced, it's a rock-solid bottle of wine to drink over the coming decade.
