1999 Lynch Cabernet Sauvignon

Napa Valley

Created by
Heidi Peterson Barrett

This is the first Cabernet release from this unique vineyard. The vines grow in the eastern Napa Valley hills north of St. Helena near historic Stony Hill. The wine is deep ruby in color with layered aromas of spicy baked plum and rose perfume. It has a very silky, seamless mouthfeel with similar plummy fruit in the mouth. Accents of cedar, five-spice, and a slight resin character make for a very complex interesting wine. Tannins are light and add mostly a textural structure to the wine. The balance is very good. The wine seems lively and yet more mature than the young vintage would indicate at the same time. A very easy to drink wine that will lend itself well to a vast array of flavorful dishes.
