Spottswoode Estate Vineyard & Winery, Napa Valley (California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

 I have said so much about Spottswoode’s Lyndenhurst Cabernet over the past several vintages that it’s difficult to come up with something new to say about it  — it would certainly be a flagship wine just about anywhere else, which lets you know that it’s the winery’s “1A” bottling.  It is classic Napa Valley Cabernet, and though it is approachable now it will reward extended cellaring.  I would go so far as to say that it is a great value at this price.   Contains 9.4% Cabernet Franc, 5% Merlot, 4.1% Petit Verdot and 3.8% Malbec.
