2005 Spottswoode Lyndenhurst Cabernet Sauvignon
Back in May 2009, we selected this Cabernet as one of our Premiere Selections. And for good reason too. This Cab comes from the same vineyard as the 96 point 2005 Spottswoode Cab. Delicious aromas of dark roasted coffee and brambly black fruit give way to a mouthful of ripe plums, chocolate and dark cherries on the palate. At 33% off, this is a great deal!

The 2005 Lyndenhurst Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits more restraint and delineation. It seems like a cooler climate wine compared to the more opulent 2004. It comes down to a matter of personal preference, but I liked the showiness and sensuality of the 2004, whereas structuralists and acid lovers will probably prefer the 2005. I would not be surprised to see the 2005 last longer, and actually move ahead of the 2004 in terms of quality in 4-5 years.
