Lyndenhurst Cabernet Sauvignon
Spottswoode’s Expression of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
2022

Spottswoode Estate’s storied history inspired the name Lyndenhurst, a tribute to the fragrant linden trees still blooming in the gardens today. This Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted from grapes grown in esteemed, family-owned vineyards across Napa Valley, with its core being our Estate Vineyard. Through relationships with our grower partners, we have deepened our understanding of Napa’s diverse appellations and unique terroirs.

This wine also reflects our commitment to organic farming. By 2025, all grapes for Lyndenhurst will be farmed organically, thanks to close collaboration with our growers.

Winemaker Notes: The 2022 shows poise with vibrant acidity fresh blackberries, raspberry compote, cranberry skins, and dried rose petals. Striking minerality lays the base for cardamom, dried herbs, warm cedar, and iron-driven earth. Young tannins allow a midline drive and hint at future power. Delightful now, this holds gripping potential.

Vintage Notes: The 2022 season began with much-needed rainfall after a dry 2021. Fruit set was thus light, and though irrigation was required, a healthy bloom in May set the stage for a balanced growing season. Despite extreme heat over Labor Day, diligent work with our growers ensured vineyard resiliency necessary in this era of climate extremes. The grapes arrived in excellent condition, showcasing the ideal acidity and focused flavors to which we aspire.
