Wine Enthusiast Gives Excellent Scores to Whitehall Lane Cabernet & Merlot
November 10, 2009
In the upcoming December 2009 issue of Wine Enthusiast, Whitehall Lane Winery received excellent press with regards to the consistent quality and value of our Napa Valley Merlot and Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon.
Can’t wait till December to find out what your favorite Napa Valley winery scored? Well neither could I. Here’s a little sneak peak:
2005 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
- TOP 100 CELLAR SELECTION OF 2009
- 94 POINTS
“… this wine pours inky black, and feels softly ripe in the mouth, with pie-filling blackberries, cherries, mocha, plums, tobacco and sweet dusty spices.”
(Mmmm… I know what I’m bringing to Gramma’s Thanksgiving dinner table.)
2006 Merlot
- 92 POINTS
- EDITORS’ CHOICE AWARD *2nd year in a row
“A beautiful Merlot, noble and classic. Absolutely lovely now, with fine, brisk tannins framing flavors of cherries, herbs and sweet oak, and a lingering finish.”
(Yoo Whoo. Sounds like I can cross Uncle Jim, Aunt Diane, and Papa Joe off my Christmas list this year. And at only $15 for a half bottle I may have to fill up my own stocking with this award winner too.)
