2009 Spottswoode Lyndenhurst Cabernet Sauvignon...$56.99
This wine was originally sold only through Spottswoode mailing list, but we know have it at The Wine and Cheese Place!!!! Comes from the same Estate fruit that is used to make the $120 + Spottswoode Cabernet. We tasted it, and it is lush and delicious. It is quite enjoyable now.
More info from the winery website:
Lyndenhurst…a former name of the Spottswoode Estate, so named to celebrate the beautiful Linden trees which surrounded the old gazebo; and the name of a wine we first released in 1995 (a Cabernet Franc), and then revived as a Cabernet Sauvignon in 2002.
This “insider” wine, known almost exclusively to our mailing list customers, exhibits serious complexity and at the same time exudes warmth and brightness. Spottswoode’s rich history as a family-owned wine estate, along with our deep winemaking expertise, allows us to craft a Lyndenhurst Cabernet Sauvignon that is true to our exacting standards, and that our customers trust will offer the exceptional quality, great integrity, and intensity of flavors that they have come to expect from our wines.
Sourced from the Spottswoode Estate, the 2009 Lyndenhurst represents a selection of vineyard blocks chosen to produce a lush and approachable Cabernet. This wine is graceful in nature yet powerful and bright, with raspberries, milk-chocolate-covered cherries, and a dash of white pepper. The velvety tannins and dense cedar notes mesh beautifully with cassis and black tea, and the wine finishes with hints of nutmeg.
Also of note, this vineyard has been organically farmed since 1985
