Der Spottswoode Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Lyndenhurst Napa Valley 2018 ist eine Hommage an die duftenden Linden, die noch heute in den Gärten des Estate Vineyrds blühen. Der Lyndenhurst Cabernet Sauvignon ist ein dynamischer und einladender Wein, der aus eigenen Trauben und denen anderer renommierter Familienbetriebe (Darms Lane / Napa Valley, Edcora / Atlas Peak, Knights Bridge / Knights Valley, Parry-Vineyards / St. Helena, Young Inglewood / St. Helena) vinifiziert wird.

A wine well worth purchasing and cellaring, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Lyndenhurst sports a dense purple hue as well as classic Cabernet notes of blackcurrants, Asian spices, violets, licorice, and tobacco. Beautifully rich, full-bodied, and concentrated, it's one heck of a second wine that can be drunk today or cellared for 15-20 years.
Verkostungsnotiz von Lisa Perrotti-Brown am 5. November 2020 über den Spooswoode Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Lyndenhurst Napa Valley 2018:
The deep purple-black coalored 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Lyndenhurst comes bounding out of the glass with exuberant scents of fresh blackcurrants, black raspberries and Morello cherries plus hints of lavender, pencil lead and bouquet garni with a touch of Sichuan pepper. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is charged with electric energy, framed by grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing with great intensity and purity.

Black plums, blueberries, chocolate, cloves and dried leaves. Black olives, too. It’s full-bodied with firm, fine-grained tannins. Chewy, generous layers of dark fruit and chocolate. Try from 2022.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Lyndenhurst is a fabulous wine that shows just how compelling the vintage is, even among mid-tier offerings. Blackberry, graphite, cloves, licorice and lavender all build in the glass. The Lyndenhurst Cabernet is usually much more approachable, but the 2018 is a real powerhouse. I would give the tannins at least a few years to soften. This is impressive, to say the least.
