Hall Wines "Kathryn Hall" Cabernet Sauvignon | |
| A red wine made from Cabernet Sauvignon | |
| The 2007 HALL “Kathryn Hall” Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted predominantly from the fruit of the illustrious Sacrashe vineyard, exuding the dark, dense, powerful character of this distinctive vineyard site. Heady aromatics of black spice, blackberry and freshly turned earth launch into a loaded palate of dark plum, briar fruit, leather and smoke. Dense yet sweet tannins lend grip and cadre. Crafted at our gravity-fed HALL Rutherford winery, the HALL “Kathryn Hall” Cabernet Sauvignon is undeniably complex and enticing, and will gracefully evolve for 12-15 years. Praise for the 2007 HALL "Kathryn Hall" Cabernet 96 Points "One of the richest Cabernets of the vintage. Amazingly soft and velvety in the mouth, yet there's a solid grip of acidity and tannins that balance the richness. The flavors are extraordinary, ranging from blackberry and cherry-pie filling through currant liqueur and milk chocolate to leather. So decadent now, it's hard to resist, but should develop for 4-6 years." —Steve Heimoff, Wine Enthusiast 91-93 Points “The gorgeous 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon offers up notions of bay leaves, new saddle leather, black currants, blackberries, and Spring flowers. Dense, full-bodied, and opulent, with superb purity and length, but no hard edges, it should age effortlessly for 15+ years." —Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate | |
Hall Wines Cabernet Sauvignon | |
| A red wine made from Cabernet Sauvignon | |
| The 2007 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a distinctive blend representing all of our premier vineyard properties. 2007 was a winemaker’s growing season; phenological events, ideal climactic conditions and moderate temperatures throughout harvest provided optimal ripening and exceptional fruit quality. Selecting the finest fruit from each of our own estate vineyard sites and select vineyard partners allowed us to create an incredibly well-balanced and fruit-forward wine. Displaying deep, dark garnet color and lovely aromas of marion berry, bramble, chocolate plum and all-spice; the palate is lush and concentrated with boysenberry, cassis, anise and semisweet chocolate. Rewarding now, this wine will continue to evolve and delight for 5-10 years. | |

Hall Wines Napa Valley Merlot | |
| A red wine made from Merlot | |
| The 2006 vintage of our HALL Napa Valley Merlot is a rich cuveé from two of our premier estate vineyards. HALL’s extensive vineyard holdings have allowed us to determine and cultivate the most ideal locations for our Merlot vines. Merlot from our Hardester Vineyard is planted in limiting soils on a hillside enclave to promote intensely concentrated, small berries with great structure and backbone. The cool valley-floor vines at Napa River Ranch allow this Merlot to express generous red fruit and a velvety texture. Expect an alluring nose of bing cherry, violets, cocoa and baking spice which leads seamlessly on the palate to a rich and elegant mid-palate. Expressive flavors of dark cherry, toasted oak and blackberry jam will continue to evolve for the next 5-7 years. Praise for the 2006 HALL Napa Valley Merlot 93 Points. "Dense purple-black hue... Plush tannins and ripe flavors of black cherry, maple and rum cake." -Wine News, November 2009 | |

Hall Wines Sauvignon Blanc | |
| A red wine made from Sauvignon Blanc | |
| Our 2009 HALL Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc balances expressively ripe fruit with bright, buoyant acidity. The backbone of this lusty blend hails from a vineyard partner in the cool region of Yountville and delivers ripe vibrant citrus flavors. Grapes from our Napa River Ranch contribute poetic minerality while Hardester vineyard fruit imparts lush tropical aromatics and opulent texture. Fermented mostly in stainless steel tanks and refrained from malolactic fermentation, our Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc possesses an assured fruit forwardness, freshness, and focus. We harvested our grapes at the height of ripeness and stirred the yeast lees after fermentation. The result is a rich wine with layered texture. Aromas of pink grapefruit and Meyer lemon blossom are complemented by a lush cascade of guava and lychee on the palate carrying through to a crisp, ringing finish. Praise for the 2009 HALL Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc 91 Points -Joshua Greene, Wine & Spirits Magazine, June 2010 "A flintiness emerges with air as the wine’s initial sulfur and reduction dissipate. Decant it to bring out the gooseberry and blood orange flavors, a firm and intriguing fruit character to match with grilled langoustines." | |
