It takes a combination of talents and passions to make a great wine. what ends up in the glass is never a solo effort. At Lerner Project, the team is small, but they share a huge passion for translating the authentic characteristics of vine, soil, and climate - the terroir of Napa Valley - into wines that bear the Lerner Project label. Stu and Karen Lerner, along with winemaker Russell Bevan accomplish this with mutual dedication and patience, one bottle at a time.
Lerner's Project 18 bottling is a barrel selection of Cabernet Sauvignon from the Tench Vineyard in Oakville, blended with Cabernet Franc and Merlot from the Sugarloaf Vineyard in Napa. The goal with this pedigreed fruit is simple; to make the best under $100 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon that money can buy...and we think they're a frontrunner!
JEB DUNNUCK 96 POINTS - "The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Project 18 offers classic Napa Valley cassis and darker, almost blue fruits to go with full-bodied aromas and flavors of graphite, tobacco, leaf, and crushed stone. It's deep, rich, and concentrated, with great tannins."
