Maple Lane Spirits

Whitehall Lane

Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Ron R
9.2

Excellent wine. Big complex nose of cinnamon and burnt oak.

Palette is complicated with pronounced tannins which provides great structure for the wine. Finishes sweet with maple syrup, strawberry jam and black cherries.

I know the winemaker, so my score is biased - so what?

Hello @Adam Greenberg, I don't know why, but when I know I am biased towards something, I always feel the need to declare it. It's a burden I carry with me.

I just secured some more of this, whoop!

Ballard Lane

Central Coast Pinot Noir 2012

Another good Pinot. More tanin than the last. Blackberry and peppercorn flavour. Some minerality, but overall light on the palate. Slight tobacco nose. Open an hour early. Paired with a spicy pepperoni. Baseline wine+spirits. — 11 years ago

Caledonia Spirits

Tom Cat Barr Hill Reserve Gin

This was such a wonderful surprise! Best thing to come out of Vermont since grade A maple syrup! A true sipping gin - absurdly smooth - spice, juniper and honey. This is the Pappy of gin. — 11 years ago
