title: Lucas & Lewellen 2013 Valley View Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Santa Ynez Valley)
description: This distinctive bottling offers aromas of tobacco, wet coffee grounds, roasted pasilla chili, charcoal and charred beef that seem curious at first but quickly grow interesting. The palate shows much of the same, recalling a chile-flecked dark-chocolate brownie served atop a black cherry-blackberry reduction sauce.
