#4 on Hi-Time's North American Reds of 2024
Former open-wheel driver Randy Lewis is driven to achieve perfection; that's why the Lewis family has been hands-on in every aspect-- from vineyard management to winemaking to sales. Their strong dedication to producing only the best wine they can make has helped them to garner acclaim and big scores from the best critics. Their wines have made the Top Wine list from Wine Spectator more than once, with their 2013 Napa Cabernet being named Wine Spectator's Wine of the Year! This year doesn't seem to be much different, as the high scores keep coming in.
Alec's is named after one of Randy's grandsons, and the Alec's Blend is a unique wine in their lineup. This wine is always driven by Syrah, and combines varying amounts of Bordeaux varietals into the mix, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Production is always quite small on this wine, and it is typically one of the first wines of the Lewis releases to sell out. However, since we have supported them since the first vintage, we have been able to secure enough to include this in our "top wine" list of 2024!
JEB DUNNUCK 95 POINTS - "The 2021 Alec's Blend is mostly Syrah (there's some Merlot, Petite Sirah, and Cabernet Franc) and its deep purple hue is followed by a gorgeous perfume of blackberries, blueberries, camphor, ground pepper, and hints of bacon fat. It's full-bodied and has remarkable purity, fine tannins, and a great finish. Drink this incredibly sexy, hedonistic beauty over the coming decade."
