2018 Spottswoode Lyndenhurst Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

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. Drinking window 2024 - 2033." - Antonio Galloni Review Date: January 2021
