Product Notes

Spottswoode Estate's Lyndenhurst Cabernet Sauvignon is a high-quality wine with a rich, full-bodied flavor. Created using grapes grown on the estate's vineyard in Napa Valley, this Cabernet Sauvignon features aromas of black currant, dark chocolate, and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, it presents flavors of chocolate-coated cherries, blackberry compote, and a subtle hint of toasted oak. The tannins are supple, and the finish is long-lasting with a balanced acidity that lingers on the tongue. This wine pairs well with red meats, rich sauces, and aged cheeses. Overall, the Spottswoode Estate Lyndenhurst Cabernet Sauvignon is a delicious choice for Cabernet lovers.

Tasting Notes

With crimson fruits and bramble, the 2017 Lyndenhurst unveils aromas of fresh thyme, cedar, lilac, juniper, and a wild understory. Fine, silken tannins entice the palate through an array of textures. All the while, a resonating acidity brings dynamism and precision through this wine’s long, layered progression. This is a wine with a refined poise in youth with a unique ability to offer enjoyment in its early years.

About the Winery

Spottswoode Estate

Founded in 1882, Spottswoode Estate is a reputable winery established by Mary Weber Novak on the western rim of St. Helena. Lying at Mayacamas Mountains’ foot, it started as a supplier of high-quality and highly demanded grapes. Ten years after she built the reputation of the Estate, Mary hired Tony Soter, a winemaker and set up the Spottswoode Winery in 1982. It was in this year that she released the winery’s first batch of Cabernet Sauvignon. It marked the estate’s hundred years since its founding. 

Mary began expanding the reach of Spottswoode Estate and its winery with the help and support of Tony. She began implementing sustainable and organic viticulture practices in the vineyards. Today, Beth Novak Milliken, Mary Weber Novak’s daughter, manages the operations of the winery. Her sister, Lindy Novak, works in the position of Marketing Ambassador. The winery remains committed to creating wines of high integrity that can reflect their origin and source with the utmost faith. 

The terroirs owned by Spottswoode prove ideal for growing and cultivating grapes of excellent standard. The soil is of an alluvial clay loam type and provides outstanding drainage abilities. The area gets blessed by refreshing maritime breezes passing through in the space between the Mayacamas range and the Spring Mountain. Additionally, the workers prevent the use of chemical fertilizers, insecticides, and pesticides to maintain the natural quality of the soil. A combined effect of all these factors forms the perfect environment that allows the grapes to ripen slowly for the best taste. 

The fame of Spottswoode rises every year as it produces and distributes an Estate Sauvignon Blanc and an Estate Cabernet Sauvignon. Both are delectable wines that leave all drinkers wanting more. Nevertheless, all wines produced by the winery are known for their balance, classic structure, and refined elegance.
