WINEMAKER NOTESThe Leonardini Estate Cabernet Sauvignon comes from handpicked blocks in Whitehall Lane’s Estate Vineyards. This 2012 wine was made from grapes grown in four of the Leonardini Family’s seven Estate Vineyard properties. It included select vineyard rows of Cabernet Sauvignon from the Oak Glen, Millennium MM and Leonardini Vineyards. The Petit Verdot was harvested from our Fawn Park Vineyard. The wine was aged in 80% French and 20% American oak barrels for 22 mo.
THE VINTAGEAfter two cool growing seasons, 2012 brought ample heat and wonderful summer weather to Napa Valley. The growing conditions were beyond ideal, allowing the grapes to grow at a steady pace with hot days and cool valley nights. September and October stayed warm allowing the fruit to fully ripen with rich, beautiful flavors. The grapes were harvested between October 10th and October 28th.
