Whitehall Lane Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2020

94 points Wine Enthusiast: "Deep, dark and elegant, this full-bodied wine sips easily despite significant tannins since they are silky and fine-grained. Black cherries, blackberries and blueberries blend with hints of charred oak and iron for a complex, edgy palate. Best from 2028–2038. (Nov 2023)"

92 points Wine Spectator: "Sports tasty flavors of cassis, plum reduction and boysenberry preserves that stay focused and fresh, lined with anise, apple wood and bramble along the way. A bit toasty on the finish, but there's enough fruit to handle it; just let this unwind with some light cellaring. Best from 2024 through 2033. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. (Nov 2023)"

91 points James Suckling: "Aromas of cassis, plum and wet gravel. Full-bodied with silky, fine tannins. Vibrant and succulent red and purple berries on the palate with sweet spices and herbs. Long finish. Drink or hold. (Oct 2022)"

Producer notes: This Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic example of a perfectly balanced valley floor Cabernet with excellent fruit concentration. On the nose, this wine offers blackberry pie, dried Mission figs, baking spices, blackberry coulis and a hint of cigar box. The palate offers smooth and velvety tannins, chocolate-covered cherries, red currants, huckleberry pie, toasted walnuts, vanillin and hibiscus tea. This offering is enjoyable today but will also evolve with cellar aging through 2038.
