2021 Spottswoode Lyndenhurst Cabernet Sauvignon St Helena, USA

The 2021 Spottswoode Lyndenhurst Cabernet Sauvignon is a refined and expressive Napa Valley red crafted from fruit grown at Spottswoode's historic estate in St Helena and other exceptional family-owned vineyards throughout Napa Valley. The blend is led by Cabernet Sauvignon and complemented by Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, and Malbec, creating a wine with both depth and elegance. Aged for 20 months in predominantly French oak, the 2021 opens with opulent floral aromas and notes of black currant, dark cherry, cassis, ripe blackberry, cigar box, and allspice. Powerful yet polished tannins are balanced by fresh acidity, giving the wine a silky texture and a long, layered finish. Softer and more approachable than Spottswoode's Estate Cabernet while still offering impressive structure and aging potential, Lyndenhurst is an elegant choice for grilled steak, roasted lamb, beef dishes, mushrooms, and aged cheeses.
