Lyeth Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

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, the current owners at the Boisset Collection are still dedicated to Chip’s vision of making outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon.

Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the most important components used in creating the Meritage blend upon which Lyeth has built its success. The wine allows Lyeth to showcase this varietal in a way that reveals the individual qualities it contributes. Rich and luscious flavors with balanced acidity and smooth tannins ensure this is a wine that pairs well with food and entices the palate to take another sip.

The Lyeth California Cabernet Sauvignon has a touch of Petit Verdot blended in with the Cabernet for added complexity and depth of flavor. Crimson in the glass, this Cabernet Sauvignon offers expressive aromatics of red cherry, boysenberry-cedar and a touch of minerality and freshness like a Pacific Ocean sea breeze. A soft and generous palate with flavors of savory spice, bramble raspberry, chocolate-cherry and a hint of lavender on a long, lingering finish.

Lyeth also has a young and talented woman winemaker. A true local, Katie Carter was born and raised just five miles northwest of DeLoach Vineyards in the town of Forestville. A 2003 graduate of UC Berkeley’s Biology program, Katie’s deep love of nature and all creatures great (frogs) and small (yeast) led her to a variety of lab and field research jobs before eventually taking a harvest position. Enchanted with the pace, spirit and purpose she found in winemaking, her enthusiasm led to several additional winery lab positions following that first vintage. 

Katie joined Lyeth in January 2014 having held the position of Assistant Winemaker at DeLoach Vineyards. As Lyeth’s winemaker, Katie is responsible for sourcing, producing and blending Lyeth Estate wines and is excited to continue the tradition of creating beautiful, distinctive wines with unique characteristics.
