Whitehall Lane Napa Cabernet, 2013

This very good Napa Cabernet has 8% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot and 3% Malbec in the blend. From the highly rated 2013 vintage, it is drinking beautifully right now.

Inky black. Lush fruit--currants, cassis, cherries, mocha, toasted oak. Velvety mouthfeel, sweet fruit. Medium long finish. A wine that should please almost any audience. Soft acidity makes it easy to drink, but not a good candidate for extended aging.
