Whitehall Lane, Leonardini Vineyard Merlot, Napa Valley

Wish I had a case!

Going, going, pretty well gone. Not sure why, but I was expecting more.

Best times are behind for this one. Showing the last vestige of fruit.

Still drinking well but has seemed to lost a bit of intensity. Deck plum, soft acidity, and a smooth finish.

Full bodied with nice nose. A cab lovers merlot.

Excellent wine, Solid A!

Excellent!

Aromas of black fruits and alcohol. Mouth of cassis, black fruits and mushroom. Long hot finish. Extraordinary.

Very nice fruit

The wine looks purple colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry, cherry and bark. It tastes like blackberry, alcohol/hot, lead pencil, bark, bark, bark and bark. The body is medium. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity.

Juicy dark plum and red fruit. Medium to full body with a long finish. Great acidity on the long finish.

Garnet/purple color. Nose: blackberry cobbler, blueberry, and blackcurrant with accents of mocha, graham cracker, dates, hazelnut, and licorice.
