This near-fatal incident ignited a new passion, inspiring him to craft world-class wines.

Over the past three decades, Lewis Cellars has become synonymous with excellence, garnering numerous 90+ point scores and achieving the prestigious title of Wine Spectator’s Wine of the Year in 2016.

2021 La Sirena Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

The 2021 La Sirena Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon encapsulates the mastery, dedication, and heart that only small, family-driven winemaking can achieve. Crafted by legendary winemaker Heidi Peterson Barrett, this wine carries a story of tradition, artistry, and ambition. Heidi’s journey started in her early years alongside her father, Dick Peterson, where she first fell in love with winemaking. After studying Fermentation Science at UC Davis, she quickly rose to fame in the 1980s with stints at prestigious names like Dalla Valle and Screaming Eagle, where her talent earned multiple perfect 100-point scores.

La Sirena began in 1994 with an unexpected twist when Heidi, while creating a Sangiovese for a client, was left with a beautiful wine the client could no longer take. She recognized its quality and bought the wine, launching La Sirena within a month.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is a remarkable product of a low-yield, intensely concentrated vintage sourced from Heidi’s meticulously farmed Calistoga vineyards and vinified with the same finesse she brought to Screaming Eagle. With a lush, velvety profile, this Cabernet is purposefully crafted to captivate collectors and enthusiasts alike, embodying a rich heritage of Napa winemaking artistry.

2019 Duckhorn Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Duckhorn made their first Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon in 1978 and has only missed one vintage in over 40 years. Their Cabernet consistently delivers a lush, rich, eclectic taste of Napa because it’s a blend of many of their estate properties, including Rector Creek in Yountville, Monitor Ledge in Calistoga, Stout on Howell Mountain, and even their historic Three Palms Vineyard.
 
The 2019 vintage saw an ideal summer without any significant heatwaves, ensuring an even ripening of the grapes and more complex flavor development. The blend consists of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot aged 16 months in 100% French oak (50% new and 50% neutral), creating a soulful balance between the fruit and the oak.

“The Duckhorn Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 is a rich, powerful wine with deep concentration and firm structure. The nose and palate are in sync with wild mountain blackberries, ripe Bing cherries, cedar, pie spices, dried herbs, and vanilla hints. Although compact and firm now, the intensity of sweet fruit on the palate blooms from under the youthful, slightly gripping fruit tannins, after a little time in the glass. The intensity of fruit combined with the foundational structure tells me this one has a couple of decades of good living ahead of it.”
