2010 Barcaglia Lane Chardonnay
Buy Now: $65.00

Like our Reserve Chardonnay, the Barcaglia Lane bottling undergoes 15 months of barrel aging on the lees resulting in a broadly textured and finely detailed wine. Sourced from a single Dutton Ranch vineyard planted for us in 1998, this site consists of 3 blocks all planted to unique clones. The 2010 vintage is showy and explosively fragrant with tropical fruit, jasmine, and honey-orange meringue. Mouthwatering tangerine fruits are voluptuous and round-textured, shot-through with seductive spices leading to a long and lustrous finish. 450 cases produced.

2010 Reserve Chardonnay
Buy Now: $65.00

Our Reserve Chardonnay from 2010 has the classic, complex notes of an 18th century concerto driven through a hi-fi amp with plenty of gain but no distortion. Stony mineral, ripe limey pear, caramel and hazelnut aromas come through loud and clear. The palate is expansive and precision focused from entry through middle with satiny texture, orange zest and lively acidity, followed by a spectacularly long leesy finish. 500 cases produced.

2009 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
Buy Now: $130.00

This elegant and opulently spiced 2009 Reserve Cabernet is sourced from a small collection of hillside and benchland vineyards rooted in the Oak Knoll and Calistoga appellations. Infused with exotic oak, cocoa and clove spices this blend of 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Petit Verdot is powerfully aromatic. Sweet black currant and boysenberry flavors gradually take the backseat to a more muscular mid-palate framed with sinewy tannins and baker's chocolate. 1,500 cases produced.

2007 Cuvee L (3-bottle wood box)
Buy Now: $675.00

A decade after our first bottling in 1997, from another epic vintage, we are proud to release our 2007 Cuvee L. The single best barrels from our finest lots fuel this rare wine. Think of Cuvee L as super-charged Lewis Reserve Cabernet.

Like a Formula 1 race car, the 2007 Cuvee L competes on a level beyond any of our other wines. Brilliantly purple edged and opaque in the glass, swirling the wine with a blip of the accelerator lets out a roar of ripe, super-concentrated black fruits and cedary oak spices - and that's in neutral. Engage 1st then 2nd gear and this blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon with 4% Cabernet Franc octane boost is a plusher drive than you'd expect. The fruit is so dense; it's almost like crème de cassis, with cocoa, currant and black truffle. Hit 3rd gear and things suddenly get serious with run-away speed and overwhelming power that is perfectly matched with huge rotors and calipers in the form of thick, fine-grained tannins that provide ample braking and grip through the twisties.

2010 Chardonnay Sonoma

2010 Chardonnay Sonoma
Buy Now: $50.00

Our Sonoma Chardonnay is sourced from some of the oldest Dutton Ranch plantings in the Russian River Valley, yielding unique character and complexity at harvest every year. Record cool temperatures during the early 2010 growing season pushed picking dates later than any vintage since 1998 - and it was worth the wait. Layers of lemon-lime citrus, honeysuckle and toasty tangerine are shot through with orangey spices. Succulent citrus flavors are fresh and lively on the palate while preserving a supple texture that gradually turns crisp with a final wash of mouthwatering natural acidity. 1,200 cases produced.

2010 Chardonnay Napa Valley
Buy Now: $50.00

The usually warm Oak Knoll district north of Carneros was cooler than usual in 2010, giving us extended hang time toward harvest and enabling the grapes to achieve full ripeness and maturity. Our 2010 Napa Valley Chardonnay is full of ripe tree fruit - apricot, apple, and pear - with mineral and pistachio adding complex, nutty notes to the blend. With the flavor and texture of creamy caramel custard, the wine remains rooted with ample integrated acidity and toasty oak. 1,200 cases produced.
