2008 Whitehall Lane Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

One 750ml bottle

This 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon has great color and aromas of raspberry and toasty oak that leap forth from the glass. The berry and plum flavors are concentrated with a rich texture that fills the mouth. With loads of fruit and velvety tannins, this beautiful blend is enjoyable now but will age gracefully through 2016.  
 
The grapes were grown in vineyards located in St. Helena, Rutherford, Calistoga, Yountville and Oak Knoll and harvested between September 16 and October 16, 2008. The fruit was fermented at an average of 85°F with gentle pump-overs for excellent flavor and color extraction. The wine was aged in a combination of American and French oak barrels for 19 months and blended to attain balance. Merlot increased texture and softness on the mid-palate and Petite Verdot added color, complexity and additional layers of ripe fruit flavors to the wine.
