Whitehall Lane Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
This beautifully blended 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is exquisitely balanced with excellent fruit concentration. On the nose, this wine offers fresh blackberries, black cherries, blueberry pie, graphite, toasted brioche, and a touch of lavender. The palate offers plush but concentrated tannins, mixed berry jam, dried black cherries, dark chocolate, toasted walnuts, cedar, and a touch of vanilla bean with a finish that softens and lingers.
"Including a splash of Petit Verdot (2%), the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is another solid, impeccably made value from this estate. Darker currant fruits, vanilla oak, spice, and a hint of tobacco give way to a medium to full-bodied, textured, balanced 2018 that's going to be well worth following over the coming 7-8 years or more." -90pts, Jeb Dunnuck

Aromas of pine, cinnamon, dried blackcurrant and fruit peel. It’s medium-bodied with sleek tannins and a creamy, chocolatey finish. Drink or hold. |
