World Wine 2004 L de Lyeth Cabernet Sauvignon

Sonoma County, California L de Lyeth Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma is a new standout in its price class. Founded in 1981 by Chip Lyeth, this winery is a specialist in Meritage wines, or Bordeaux blends. L de Lyeth Cabernet Sauvignon is deep crimson red in color with a nose of blackberry, cherry, plum, vanilla, earth, and spice. Medium/full in body with soft, polished tannins, the wine offers rich and concentrated flavors of blackberry, plum, black currant, and coffee. It is well balanced to enjoy over the next 6-7 years. Ripe fruit and velvety tannins linger on the long finish. Enjoy L de Lyeth Cabernet Sauvignon with grilled lamb chops, spare ribs, grilled vegetables, and hard cheeses.
