Hall Wines
Kathryn Hall Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Parker originally gave this 96-100
Lisa did the final at 95 points.
Jeb has it 96-99
I would put it up there with 2012 as far as the full bodied ready to go at any point whether early drinking or holding
Worth the $150.00 this time.

October birthday celebrations for my father-in-law, sister-in-law and my wife this past weekend!
Velvet and a fruit medley across all the red, blue and black spectrum. A youthful chalkiness/dustiness to the palate and finish, yet there is no problem to opening this now with a short decant. Almost decadent with how there is a milk and dark chocolate dominated palate. I’ve had ‘11-‘15 vintages and think this is in the middle of the pack in terms of drinking now. This vintage may have more stuffing to hold longer. Love Hall wines, even if they do price themselves a bit high.

Blind tasting last night of 2015s to see if we could identify known bottles. Golf, great wine, and thick steaks. Plus I got all right!

A dark ruby color with notes of dark cherry, chocolate, cassis, blackberries and very full bodied and smooth. This is an outstanding Cabernet
