Hayfork Cabernet Sauvignon Field Select Lewelling Ranch
Tasted 24 February 2018
Napa Valley · St. Helena
I actually preferred the Lewelling Ranch version to the Field Select ("Reserve"), as this wine was showing plummy and alkaline aftertastes that muddled the core fruit flavors. Bigger than the Lewelling Ranch, but…
A much better animal than its 2014 sibling, this 2015 Hayfork displayed much more drive and concentration than older brother (though be forewarned, this is far from a "concentrated" wine in my book).…
Red and purple core fruit, plum, red currant, tobacco leaf, and cedar. An unfortunately weak delivery of flavors, with a mid-palate that was fairly flat and plum-ridden. Absolutely no finish…
