JUSTIN Vineyards & Winery, Landmark Vineyards, and JNSQ Wines are pleased to announce the expansion of their portfolio into Napa Valley with the acquisition of Lewis Cellars. Lewis Cellars will remain under the leadership and guidance of Randy Lewis and Dennis Bell, while benefiting from the established marketing, strategy, and sales teams behind JUSTIN, Landmark, and JNSQ.

"We are excited to join forces with the JUSTIN team," said Randy Lewis, co-founder of Lewis Cellars. "As we approach our thirty-year anniversary, we've had the pleasure of perfecting our wines for decades. With the additional resources and industry expertise available through this partnership, we can really show the world the excellence we've bottled."

Established in 1992 by Randy and Debbie Lewis as a small family winery, Lewis Cellars produces luxury Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc. Lewis Cellars' 2013 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon was #1 on Wine Spectator's Wine of the Year list in 2016, noted by editor James Laube as "typifying modern winemaking" with a wine that is expressive and elegant.  

"Lewis Cellars has a rich history, superior quality, and a pedigree that made it the perfect winery to help us expand into the Napa Valley region," said Clarence Chia, s enior vice president of marketing, ecommerce and direct-to-consumer for JUSTIN Vineyards & Winery. "We look forward to upholding the Lewis brand, and the essence and ethos that Randy and Debbie established, while helping new audiences learn about and enjoy Lewis's exquisite Napa Valley wine."

Lewis Cellars' passion and process align with the winemaking philosophy and artisanal approach of the JUSTIN portfolio, which features luxury award-winning Bordeaux-style wines from Paso Robles, Calif. The portfolio also includes Sonoma Valley-based Landmark Vineyards, with its Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays, and JNSQ, a California-born Ros é Cru with a French accent.

International Wine Associates (IWA) served as the exclusive advisors to and represented Lewis Cellars in this transaction.
