Dark opaque purple- looks like Napa. A little black fruits and oak on the nose. Palate - moderate to heavy body, notes of blackcurrant, leather, and oak. The oak is relatively mild and well mannered. Medium length finish with some good tannin. The wine lacks acidity. Overall good wine at the value Napa price point ($35-40). Lack of acidity would prevent this from aging well. Drink by 2026.

Great color. Full expression of (what I would guess) mid-Napa Valley fruit. To my taste, a bit soft. Some tannins in the finish indicate the wine will improve for a while, but the lack of acidity will keep it from becoming great.

Nice bottle from Whitehall Lane. Deep ruby red with vanilla on the nose. Nicely integrated with soft tannins on the pallet. Ready to drink now.
