The Wine Independent om: Lyndenhurst Cabernet Sauvignon

Deep garnet-purple in color, it comes bounding out of the glass with exuberant notes of blackberry pie, plum preserves, and warm cassis followed by suggestions of roses, Indian spices, and menthol plus a waft of aniseed. The medium-bodied palate has impressive energy, with great tension and fine-grained tannins supporting the vibrant fruit, leading to a long and perfumed finish on this impressive wine. 94+/100

Wine Enthusiast om: Lyndenhurst Cabernet Sauvignon

Aromas of fresh black plum combine in the mouth with savory, earthy flavors and accents of dry cocoa. The tannins are succulent and persistent, well balanced by juicy acidity. Friendly and delicious with the structure to serve a meal, this is a well-made while approachable Cabernet Sauvignon.

Suckling om: Lyndenhurst Cabernet Sauvignon

A juicy red with black currants and balsamic. Bark and mushroom. Iodine, too. Medium body, creamy texture that tightens at the end. An energy and firmness in the finish but remains so attractive. Savory. Hard not to drink now. So do, but will also age nicely.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Lyndenhurst Cabernet Sauvignon

The second wine of this incredible estate, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Lyndenhurst reveals a deep purple hue as well as a great nose of assorted currants, black cherries, tobacco, and lead pencil. It's beautifully concentrated, has medium to full-bodied richness, and ripe tannins, all making for an undeniably delicious, classic, balanced Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon to drink over the coming 10-15 years. 94/100

Parker om: Lyndenhurst Cabernet Sauvignon

The non-estate 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Lyndenhurst, like the estate bottling, is scheduled for release in September 2024. Including all five Bordeaux varieties and matured in 40% new French oak, it boasts classic scents of cassis, black cherries and some gentle cedary notes. It's medium to full-bodied, gently velvety but still firm, with a long, cool finish. It's more than $100 these days, but it still delivers a high-quality drinking experience.

Galloni om: Lyndenhurst Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Lyndenhurst is a huge overachiever. Rich and ample in feel, the 2021 packs a serious punch. Dark-toned fruit, spice, leather, tobacco, menthol and dried herbs fill out the layers and carry through to the succulent finish. The Lyndenhurst is especially fine in 2021. This saw 45-50% new oak. 93/100
