Whitehall Lane’s 2014 Merlot is a blend of 93% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Sauvignon and spent 19 months in a combination of 30% new French and American cooperage. The wine displays tobacco leaf, black cherry and a touch of chocolate in a medium-bodied, fleshy, lush and delicious style meant for consumption over the next 7-8 years.
