History

Whitehall Lane Winery was originally started by Art Finklestein and Alan Stein in 1979 on the 25-acre (10 ha) site that was originally planted in the 1800s. They operated for over a decade before selling the winery to the Leonardini Family in 1993. [2] Whitehall Lane owns more than 200 acres (81 ha) of vineyards in several of Napa and Sonoma Counties' fertile wine appellations including Rutherford, St. Helena, Oak Knoll District, Sonoma Valley and recently Petaluma Gap.

Wines

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]
