About the Wine

While there are many great wine regions in the world, Napa Valley stands out as one of the crown jewels. Its combination of an exceptional terroir, skilled winemakers, and commitment to quality consistently produces wines that are a cut above the rest." - Wine Enthusiast

Curiosity piqued? Allow us to shed some light on the intriguing tale behind this 2017 Napa Cab that's now up for sale. The world of wine is a captivating realm, filled with its fair share of enigmas and rewards. In this ever-evolving landscape, buyers come and go, and as fate would have it, this particular wine found its rightful home years ago. However, destiny had different plans, and it was left tucked away in the depths of a forgotten warehouse... until this very moment. 

Bennett Lane Winery is located at the northern end of the beautiful Napa Valley, where the valley floor gracefully meets the majestic Mayacamas Mountains. Just a stone's throw away lies the charming town of Calistoga, surrounded by the rugged Palisades and crowned by Mount St. Helena. FYI: Calistoga is home to one of the most iconic wineries in the world, Chateau Montelena.

The journey of Randy and Lisa Lynch into the world of wine began during their travels in Italy, where wine is part of the everyday routine, and it’s found at every single dinner table. Here’s where the dream was born, and so, they establish their own vineyards in Napa Valley, with the goal of crafting a red wine that would perfectly complement any dinner table.

As a reminder and honor to Lisa and Randy’s wine origins in Italy, you’ll find that all the labels showcase authentic Roman denarius coins, which pay tribute to the rich history of wine in ancient Rome.

Rob Hunter is the talented winemaker who’s behind Bennett Lane’s wines. He embarked on his professional winemaking career at Groth Vineyards & Winery and worked in several recognized wineries like Robert Keenan Winery, Lyeth, Markham Vineyards, and Sterling Vineyards. Rob's ultimate aspiration is to create the world's finest Cabernet Sauvignon, nothing less.

Rob works hand in hand with Bennett Salts, who initially studied Chemistry at Mendocino College, but his love for wine captured his heart. He soon changed his major to Oenology and transferred to Santa Rosa Junior College. In July 2014, Bennett joined the Bennett Lane team and with Rob, started to make magic together.  

Bennett Lane Winemakers Selection Cabernet Sauvignon is an ode to Napa Valley's amazing terroir. Amazing quality Napa Cab at this price barely exists anymore. Experience this Napa Cabernet before it's long gone!

The 2017 Napa growing season started out without a fuss until early October when fires erupted throughout the Valley. This fruit was luckily brought in before the fires that damaged some of the 2017 Napa crop.

Aging: 12 months in French Oak Barrels, 30% new.

Open this wine and let it breathe. It's been locked up for five years. It really blossomed after 30 minutes in the glass.

Tasting Notes: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine has an exquisite deep, red ruby color. The nose is filled with rich aromas of dark cocoa, cherry, plum, and sweet oak. On the palate, you will find ripe, full flavors of plum, cherry, berry, and a touch of anise. The wine has a full finish with lush velvety tannins.
