Lyndenhurst Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
Napa Valley, California, United StatesLyndenhurst is a baby Spottswoode that follows the Spottswoode Estate Cabernet mantra. The fruit mix is some 55 percent Spottswoode estate, and the remainder comes off top-flight Napa Valley sites. The blend is 81/7/6/5/1 cabernet sauvignon, petit verdot, merlot, cabernet franc, and merlot. It is a delicious wine in 2016, although, as mentioned before, it is overshadowed by the estate label's exquisite balance and energy. Given the price, it’s hard not to recommend it. Look for plenty of blueberry, dark cherry with a dusting of vanilla and sweet chocolate. The midpalate is buoyed by a floral, spicy underbelly and a long muscular finish of dense sweet tannins and a whiff of menthol. Youthful, friendly, and ready to work with a favourite steak cut or roast beef.Tasted: 24 November 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $126.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
