2006 Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon, A Leonardini Family Selection, 1.5L Appellation: Rutherford, Napa Valley

Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon

The Appellation:
Rutherford is the historic grape growing region in the heart of Napa Valley. This area was the birthplace for great California Cabernet Sauvignon dating back to the mid-1800's. The first winemakers believed a quality called "Rutherford Dust" made these wines special. Today, we believe wines made from grapes grown in Rutherford aren't just special; they are some of the finest wines made anywhere.

The Vineyards:
Whitehall Lane owns three vineyards in the Rutherford Appellation. However, for this vintage, only grapes grown in the Rutherford West Vineyard on the northwest edge of the Rutherford Appellation were selected for this 2006 Rutherford wine. The vineyard represents prime Rutherford soil that is currently planted to two cabernet clones. Three additional clones will be introduced to the vineyard in 2009.

Tasting Notes:
The bouquet, flavors, texture and balance are all quintessential "Rutherford Dust" and Whitehall Lane. From the aromas of black cherry and toasty oak to the ripe, luxurious fruit flavors and lingering round tannins on the finish, this cabernet displays the classic qualities that show beautifully now, but will develop further with aging through 2018.
