Red Wine
SKU: LYREC213

Sensous soft easy-drinking reds are ripe & fruity, but not tart or tannic. They are thoroughly modern “crowd-pleasers” that do not need food to taste their best, and some are not fully dry.

FOOD PAIRING: These fruity reds can handle sugar and spice better than more classic reds, so they are perfect for ASIAN CUISINE, COMFORT FOODS, BRUNCH DISHES plus casual fare like BURGERS & BBQ.

Description

In 1981, Lyeth Estate was founded in Sonoma County by Chip Lyeth. After traveling extensively in his quest for exceptional wines of the world, Chip fell in love with Cabernet Sauvignon, and quickly learned that blending in other varietals added layers of complexity to the overall wine. Over 30 years later, we are still dedicated to Chip’s vision of making outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon and red wine.

Tasting Notes
Aroma: 

Aromas of Bing cherry, plum and raspberry spring from the glass in this 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon. 

Palate: 

Fruit flavors of blueberry, pomegranate and boysenberry are layered with notes of vanilla, cocoa, baking spice and espresso. This well-balanced wine is smooth with good persistence and a hint of mocha on the finish.

Winemaking
Vintage Notes: 

This California Red Blend utilizes classic Bordeaux varietals that were the inspiration for the Meritage wines of California. Sourcing grapes from across California, this wine displays flavor profiles that support exquisitely crafted Meritage blends.
