Dark, rich and chewy, witha rustic edge to the currant, herb, anise and blackberry fruit, which is pure, ripe and supple. Ends with gripping tannins and a rich push of fruit. Decant. Best from 2008-2013. 700 cases made - J.L.</description><dc:creator>nova</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 15 Oct 2007 04:51:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:58</guid></item><item><comments>http://www.bennettlane.com/Winery/Reviews/tabid/58/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/56/wineskinnycom.aspx#Comments</comments><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.bennettlane.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=58&amp;ModuleID=467&amp;ArticleID=56</wfw:commentRss><trackback:ping>http://www.bennettlane.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=56&amp;PortalID=0&amp;TabID=58</trackback:ping><title>wineskinny.com</title><link>http://www.bennettlane.com/Winery/Reviews/tabid/58/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/56/wineskinnycom.aspx</link><description>Bennett Lane 2006 Maximus White Feasting Wine

In search of a Label Art feature for this issue, we took a quick look at the many wines we've got stacked up around here, and this one practically jumped off the rack!

Bennett Lane Winery produces this tasty proprietary white that is quite like a white Meritage in character and heft, but with their own mix of grapes.

Specifically, in this 2006 vintage of their Maximus White Feasting Wine Napa Valley ($28), they've used Sauvignon Blanc (87%), Chardonnay (11%) and Muscat, with the result being a juicy, food-friendly, bright wine that has some added richness and weight mid-palate. Aromatic peach, honeysuckle, ripe tropicals, fig and intense citrus mingle through the full finish. Slightly off dry, but fresh tasting. Ready to drink now.

The label is an homage to the Roman Emperor Magnus Maximus that the label describes as a "notorious winelover and gourmand." And although that description doesn't really figure in most accounts of the fellow, he did seem to be responsible for destroying and pillaging Gaul, where surely much wine was consumed, before hanging out in Wales for an extended period. Judging by the couple of Welshmen we've known, they drink in Wales, too.

Anyway, point is, we're going with it.

The wine is really lovely -- elegant enough for any holiday feast. (Come to think of it, this would make a great Thanksgiving white choice!)</description><dc:creator>nova</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 15 Oct 2007 04:48:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:56</guid></item><item><comments>http://www.bennettlane.com/Winery/Reviews/tabid/58/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/53/Hemispheres-United-InFlight-Magaine-October-2007.aspx#Comments</comments><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.bennettlane.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=58&amp;ModuleID=467&amp;ArticleID=53</wfw:commentRss><trackback:ping>http://www.bennettlane.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=53&amp;PortalID=0&amp;TabID=58</trackback:ping><title>Hemispheres - United In-Flight Magaine - October 2007</title><link>http://www.bennettlane.com/Winery/Reviews/tabid/58/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/53/Hemispheres-United-InFlight-Magaine-October-2007.aspx</link><description>Celebrity Wines

By Bill Marsano

..Napa's Randy and Lisa Lynch also lead motorheads to the grape: Their Bennett Lane Winery sponsers a NASCAR racing team. NASCAR is an institutional celebrity whose fans are no longer a strictly suds-and-bourbon crowd. AC Nielsen says wine sales are up 22 percent at NASCAR races....

In a two-part series exploring the best of the California wine country, our intrepid oenophile plots a course through his favorite vineyards near Napa Valley - by Terry Sullivan

.....Finish with a run up the road to Bennett Lane Winery, where Randy and Lisa Lynch run what may be the only winery/NASCAR compbo operation in captivity...the bargains here are in the Maximus series. The White Feasting Wine ($28) is Sauvignon Blanc with 11 percent Chardonnay and a splash of Muscat - think lime rind and grapefruit with a few flowers. The Maximus Red version ($35) is a dry, bright blend of Cab, Merlot and 20 percent Syrah. Call in the guns of Naparhone. Spend $175 a head and they'll pick you up in a limo, let you blend and bottle your own cuvee and feed you wine paired with cheese and other goodies.....
