At Bennett Lane, we are blessed with a Napa Valley location that yields the finest quality grapes. In the cellar we make every effort to highlight this quality and bring it to fruition in the bottle. We are committed to minimal intervention and gentle handling, from the harvest to bottling. In this way, our wines can best express the essence of their terroir, or origin. The goal is to create elegant wines that are also rich in flavor.

We are reaching this goal each vintage, with award winning Napa Valley red wine. Bennett Lane has garnered an incredible total of 13 90+ Point wines from Wine Spectator in just the last four years.  Among those, our 2006 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon & 2006 Syrah scored 92 Points and our 2005 Maximus scored 90 Points and was named one of California’s Outstanding Values.
