2006 St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon, A Leonardini Family Selection, 1.5L

Purchase 2006 St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon, A Leonardini Family Selection, 1.5L

Appellation: St. Helena, Napa Valley

Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon

The Appellation:
St. Helena is a small town and a world class growing region for Cabernet Sauvignon. It is made up of vineyards on hillsides, mountains and the Napa Valley floor. The hillside and mountain vineyards offer fruit with great structure while the valley floor vines produce fruit with stunning finesse.

The Vineyards:
Whitehall Lane owns two St. Helena vineyards but only their Fawn Park Vineyard was selected for this wine. This gently sloping hillside vineyard, on the eastern side St. Helena, offers the best of Valley Floor and Hillside fruit. It produces jammy grapes with great complexity.

Winemaking:
The wine was made in two separate barrel lots and blended together after 16 months. The oak treatment was 100% French Oak of which 40% was new oak and 60% was aged in two year old barrels. The barrels came from several coopers and with different toast levels and were carefully selected to match this wine. The wine was racked three times during the aging process and was bottled in late November 2008 after 25 months in barrel.
