With crimson fruits and bramble,
the 2018 Lyndenhurst unveils aromas of fresh thyme, cedar, lilac, uniper, 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. – Winery
This is a perennially incredible wine for the price, rounded and
spicy in clove. With 10% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Malbec and 1%
Petite Verdot, it shows balance and integration – a mix of dark berry, forest
and silky tannin that is seamless on the palate and impressively elegant and
cohesive from start to finish. – 94 Wine Enthusiast
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Lyndenhurst is blended of 84% Cabernet
Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 3% Cab Franc, 2% Malbec and 1% Petite Verdot. Deep
garnet purple in color, it offers soft spoken notes of dried lavender, wild
blueberries, fresh black currants and kirsch plus hints of dried herbs,
unsmoked cigars and spice cake. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a
solid structure of ripe, grainy tannins and plenty of freshness to support the
muscular, beautifully retrained flavors, finishing on a lingering earthy note.
