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.
Sorry, never tasted it - not even sure if it's exported to the UK

A $10 California Cab gets it right
L de Lyeth ripe, jammy and ready to drink

California’s wineries make some superb high-end Cabernet Sauvignons, often with sky-high prices to match. But a California Cab loaded with character and delicious fruit — for just $10? That’s a rare wine, indeed.
And yet, the 2001 Sonoma County Cabernet called L de Lyeth hits the mark and soars above most California Cabernets and other reds I have tried at this price and even somewhat higher. In wine, fortunately, there are always unexpected turns.
After a tentative first sip or two the other night, I had no hesitation making this budget Cab the main wine with a simple, delicious dinner of thick grilled lamb chops, late-summer corn on the cob and sautéed zucchini. It was all the more satisfying because here was an inexpensive wine playing a great supporting role in a dinner whose ingredients cost considerably more than the wine.

No. Not into wine.
Try some Makers Mark whiskey over ice.
Mmmmmmmmm. It'll warm you right up.
