Hall Wines
Bergfeld St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon
St. Helena, Napa Valley, California, USA
What is not to like - amazing - opened and decanted and in 30 minutes this was crazy good
Color legs smell - all three were exactly what I remember when tasted in Napa
But the taste was better - big bold beautiful- just loved the power of this fruit forward beauty - it will still get better but not much and thus is built for The distance - 10 years left easily - reminded me of realm moonracer

REALLY great nose on this cab, pronounced with raspberry liqueur, wet earth, green vegetation and sweet baking spices. The palate focuses more tightly on the earth notes and some black fruits, but overall this works well.

Drinking beautifully now. A surprisingly complex Cab blend and extremely well balanced for Hall. Wish I had more.

Nice, oaky nose. Full, dry, balanced. Dark fruit, vanilla, tobacco on palate. Very good but not quite great, which you’d expect at this price.
