Notes on the Whitehall Lane Merlot Napa Valley 2005 1.5 Liter Bottle : NVWE NOTES: This is both a delightfully drinkable Merlot and a fine value, with elegant aromas of sweet dark plums, Mulberries, sandalwood, vanilla and hits of toffee and violet. It is every bit as engaging on the palate, with soft tannins and a polished mouth-feel and forthcoming plum, blackberry and vanilla flavors that linger. Certainly capable of another few years of evolution, it is so appealing already that waiting seems quite unnecessary.

WINEMAKER NOTES: This appealing wine offers aromas of blackberry, violet and oak. It gains its depth from a combination of plum, wild berries and cola flavors that are beautifully bal- anced and lingering. The wine is ready to enjoy now and will also improve with cellaring to 2009. 2005 was an outstanding growing year that began with cool, wet weather, followed by mild summer months. With ample moisture in the soil and warm days, the fruit ripened slowly and evenly. The Merlot grapes were harvested in the middle of September when the fruit displayed ideal balance and juicy, ripe flavors. Yields were a little higher than normal. The grapes were grown primarily in two of the winery’s Rutherford vineyards. The wine was aged in a combination of American and French oak barrels for 18 months. Since the early 1980’s, Whitehall Lane has utilized the art of blending to make their Merlot with layers of flavors, complexity and balance. Cabernet Sauvignon was added to the blend for more weight in the mid-palate and increased length on the finish. The 7% Syrah enhances the aromas and texture and adds complexity to the wine.
