Bennett Lane WineryFollow Napa Valley's Route 29 north to Calistoga, and then keep going just 2 1/2 more miles. You'll arrive at the pinnacle of the Napa Valley - the northernmost wedge where the Vaca mountain range meets the Mayacamas range. Here you will also find Bennett Lane Winery, sitting snugly at the edge of its own well-maintained Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard. Owners Randy and Lisa Lynch purchased the property only three years ago. But Bennett Lane is already making a splash in wine country. With more than 20 years of Napa winemaking under his belt, Rob Hunter joined Bennett Lane Winery as Consulting Winemaker in April 2005. Most recently Rob served as Vice President and Director of Winemaking for Sterling Vineyards, where he revolutionized Sterling's wine style and defined the winery as a pioneer and leader in the Napa Valley. He also previously held posts as winemaker for Markham Vineyards, Vice President and Winemaker for Lyeth Winery and Winemaker and General Manager from Robert Keenan Winery. At Bennett Lane, Hunter will oversee production of the winery's signature Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, and Maximus, a 'red feasting wine' a whimsical blend of Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah.
Maximus leads the way in Bennett Lane's quest
to produce high quality Napa Valley wines at a reasonable cost. The
winery's pricing philosophy applies to all of its wines, which
include both red and white varietals. The 2002 Maximus was named the
Top Value Napa Valley Cabernet for the 2002 vintage by Wine
Spectator's James Laube and the newest release, 2003 Maximus is
already making a splash with a 90 Point rating from the Wine
Spectator Insider. |
