Jordan Jeffries Has Lewis Cellars in a Sweet Spot

I have often wondered what it would be like to have a large budget, a vineyard or two, excellent winemaking facilities, and access to great fruit. An abundance of cash does not necessarily translate into stellar wine, but, handled judiciously and with care, money is a good thing.

Jordan Jeffries might be in that position. Since 2023 he has been leading the winemaking program at Lewis Cellars, a winery founded in 1992 by Randy and Debbie Lewis. The Wonderful Company, owned by Stewart and Lyda Resnick, purchased the winery in 2021 and, following a grand renovation and build-out of the property, Lewis Cellars is now ensconced in the former home of Robert Sinskey Vineyards on Silverado Trail in Napa.

I’ve been sampling some Lewis Cellars wines, and will be writing about them in future articles; for now, here’s the latest “Wine Talk,” featuring Jeffries. It appeared in PaperCity, and you can read it here.
