Whitehall Lane Leonardini Estate Cabernet Napa Valley 2015
Whitehall Lane Leonardini Estate Cabernet Napa Valley 2015
This 2015 Leonardini Estate wine is a quintessential Cabernet Sauvignon. It begins on the nose with rich, dark red fruits, black cherries, wild strawberries, lavender, sweet vanillin, mixed berry tart, and baking spices. Its balance and mid-palate are most notable, providing long, plush tannins alongside its dense fruit character. On the palate, it delivers baked berry crisp, red plums, bourbon-soaked maraschino cherries, strawberry rhubarb pie, red currants, toasted walnuts, and cedar on the finish. The beautiful underlying tannin structure, complexity, and ample fruit will evolve over time and age gracefully for 15-20 years. Blend 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot.
Critical Acclaim
94 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Leonardini Estate is a little soft spoken and reticent to begin, giving up subtle notes of crushed red and black currants, kirsch and wild blueberries with wafts of cedar chest, wild thyme, tilled soil and iron ore. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a compelling quiet intensity, with firm, ripe, grainy tannins and lovely freshness supporting the crushed red and black berry layers, finishing on a persistent mineral note.
91 Wine Spectator
Focused, with modest toast notes along the edges of the core of dark currant and blackberry preserve flavors. The structure is streamlined and well-integrated, while tobacco, loam and sage accents score the finish. Good latent energy too. Best from 2020 through 2029. 1,079 cases made.

Herbal and expansive in soft red fruit, tannin and oak, this wine has a weighty middle strengthened by the addition of 6% Petit Verdot, which adds a floral lavender note. Succulent and rich, it offers a length of clove and tobacco on the finish.
