Whitehall Lane 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Mancino   

2017 Whitehall Lane Cabernet Sauvignon Mancino Lanciatore Oak Knoll, Napa Valley

San Francisco Wine Panel Score 92+ Points

The nose of this attractively maturing Cabernet is focused on dark cherry, black raspberry and black currant along with background notes of dry red rose, sandalwood and vanilla. It is richly fruity on the palate, where the same flavors dominate. Polished tannic grip brings structure and food balance and all the textural and flavor elements fan out through a lingering finish of impressive depth. If perhaps even better next year, it is a delicious dinner wine right now.
