Cabernet Sauvignon 2009
Napa Valley
Whitehall Lane is a small, family owned winery in Napa Valley's historic Rutherford appellation. Founded in 1979, the history of the soil cultivation at the winery dates back two centuries. In the mid 1800's, Napa Valley settlers were drawn to the deep, loamy soils and ideal climate, planting high quality grape vines at the Whitehall Lane Winery site. In 1993, the Leonardini Family of San Francisco took control of the Whitehall Lane estate, and their Generations 3 marks three generations of Leonardini's creating this full-bodied and expressive Napa red.
Generation 3 ..."More upfront fruit in this second release from Whitehall Lane! Big, rich, complex and full bodied with lots of black berry, black cherry and plum flavors. Nice depth with a touch of mocha, spice and vanilla on a long finish! 52% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Syrah." The Wine Buyer, 95 Points
