Spottswoode Lyndenhurst Cabernet Sauvignon 2017, crafted in Napa Valley’s St. Helena, is a Cabernet Sauvignon-driven blend from organic vineyards, offering an approachable yet sophisticated expression of the estate’s terroir. The nose reveals a vibrant bouquet of blackberry, cassis, and dark cherry, layered with graphite, spice, and subtle oak, with a mineral edge from the alluvial soils. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with soft, rounded tannins and lively acidity balancing a juicy fruit core. Aged for 18 months in French oak, it delivers a smooth, lingering finish with moderate aging potential, ideal for early enjoyment or short-term cellaring. Perfect for pairing with grilled meats, pasta with red sauce, or soft cheeses, this Cabernet showcases Spottswoode’s artisanal precision and commitment to sustainability. The 2017 vintage, marked by challenging conditions, produced a wine of remarkable balance, offering a versatile Napa red for enthusiasts seeking elegance and accessibility. Its harmonious flavor profile and refined structure make it a standout choice for both casual sipping and special occasions, capturing the essence of St. Helena’s iconic terroir.
