2007 Leonardini Vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

The Vineyard:
The Leonardini Vineyard is the crown jewel of Whitehall Lane's six Napa Valley vineyards. It is located on the western side of valley floor, at the southern edge of the town of St. Helena. This gravelly 14-acre vineyard has been recognized as the finest representation of Cabernet Sauvignon for the entire St. Helena Appellation.

Tasting Notes:
The rich, complex fruit of the Leonardini Vineyard shines through in this 2006 vintage offering. The bold, youthful tannin balances the black cherry and blackberry fruit flavors beautifully. While delicious now, this is a wine that will reward patient aging as the fruit continues to develop from within and the tannin melts away.

The Closure:
This 2007 bottling is the winery's fifth vintage to be sealed with the revolutionary glass closure, Vino-Seal. This elegant alternative to cork offers an ideal seal that allows the wine to retain its purity of flavor and aroma. The wines sealed with this "glass cork" continue to age beautifully.
