The #1 “Cabernet Lovers Merlot”

Lewis Napa Merlot 2006 is the finest Merlot, guaranteed to thrill Cabernet lovers, of the vintage! When wine insiders describe a wine as “Merlot for Cabernet lovers” or “a Chardonnay that red wine lovers will enjoy” what does that mean? On one hand, it seems sort of silly because if you love Cabernet why bother purchasing or tasting Merlot? Our explanation is that wine collectors are inherently adventure seekers and always hoping for a new discovery to exhilarate the palate.

Lewis Napa Merlot 2006 is an ultra exclusive boutique bottling (less than 200 cases!) of one of the top 5 rarest, and most collectible Merlot in Napa Valley. In fact “Lewis is a team favorite and one we plan to add to the secret cellar!” here at The Wine Insiders.

THE WINE INSIDERS “CLASSIC 95” RATING: This wine transcends any Merlot ‘norms’ as it exhibits an enormous texture, fabulous concentration, a packed-and-stacked mid-palate, and an explosive intense, ripe, long finish, this stunning wine is extraordinarily complex and savory. That means this sensational wine is ready to rumble tonight (after decanting an hour) but also built to last if you’ve got more patience than the thirsty occupants of my home. Lewis’ new Merlot boasts an incredibly array of flavors including espresso roast, mocha-infused chocolate, blackberry, cassis, cherry liqueur, and smoky oak.
