History edit
Whitehall Lane Winery was originally started by Art Finklestein and Alan Stein in 1979 on the 25 acre site that had first been planted back in the 1800s. They operated for over a decade before selling the winery to the Leonardini Family in 1993.[2] Whitehall Lane owns 140 acres of vineyards in several of the Napa Valley's most fertile growing region, including Rutherford, St. Helena and Oak Knoll.
Wines edit
Whitehall Lane produces cabernet sauvignon, merlot, pinot noir, sauvignon blanc and chardonnay. It has been recognized for producing world-class wines by Wine Spectator Magazine.[3] In 2003, Whitehall Lane was the first winery in the world to seal its bottles with Vino-Seal glass stoppers.[4]
