2017 Spottswoode • Cabernet Sauvignon Lyndenhurst Rating 92+ RP Drink Date 2020 - 2034 Reviewed by Lisa Perrotti-Brown Issue Date 31st Oct 2019 Source Issue 245 End of October 2019, The Wine Advocate The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Lyndenhurst is blended of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Malbec and 1% Petit 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.
