Hall
Hall Winery is located in the Napa Valley town of Rutherford. Hall’s six estate vineyards stretch from ancient riverbeds on the valley floor to sun-drenched hilltops, encompassing more than five hundred acres of classic Bordeaux varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc. Each estate vineyard was chosen for its elevation, micro-climates and soil type, exhibiting the great diversity of Napa Valley terroir. Thanks to their eco-friendly and organic winemaking practices, Hall is also California’s first winery to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold Certification.

Hall 2006 Exzellenz Red Wine Sacrashe Vineyard (Rutherford)
- Cellar Selection
- $150
This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is like a neutron star, with massive power packed into a concentrated mass. Just huge in black currants, black cherries and chocolate, almost as thick as molasses, yet dry and firm and minerally. Vast weight and authority. Needs time. Will last 15–20 years.

Hall 2007 Exzellenz Red Wine Sacrashe Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Rutherford)
- $165
Expensive, yes, but this is a very great Cabernet, and the Sacrashe Vineyard repeatedly proves itself as one of the best in Rutherford, if not Napa Valley itself. The 100% Cabernet, which is a limited production barrel selection of only 420 cases, is so delicious in blackberry jam, chocolate, olive and cedar flavors, it’s hard to not drain the bottle now. But it…

Hall 2007 Kathryn Hall Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $80
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.

Hall 2005 Bergfeld Cabernet Sauvignon (St. Helena)
- Cellar Selection
- $100
This is one of those Napa Cabs that tastes glamorous. Even people who know little about wine will taste it and go, Wow. And the longer it sits in the glass and airs, the better it gets. Bone dry, soft and smooth, it shows luscious black currant, plum, sage, spice and cedar flavors, wrapped into finely ground tannins that will enable it to age for a decade.

Hall 2006 Kathryn Hall Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $75
Outstanding for its purity, and the incredibly fine tannins, not to mention the compelling flavors. Black and red cherries, currants, cola, mushrooms, cedar, anise, and spice flavors mingle into a long, rich finish. So balanced and elegant. Made from 95% Sacrashe Vineyard fruit, in the Rutherford AVA.

Hall 2006 Jack's Masterpiece Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $70
A gorgeous Cab in every way. Seduces for its fantastic wealth of black currants, dark chocolate, plum, cedar and spice flavors that are so deep and long. Yet the richness is balanced with beautifully ripe, refined tannins and just-in-time acidity. Distinguished and classic. The grapes are from St. Helena, Diamond Mountain and Hall’s Sacrashe Vineyard. Now through 2012.

Hall 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (Diamond Mountain)
- Cellar Selection
- $100
A wonderfully rich, complex and ageworthy Cabernet. It displays the impeccable winemaking from this winery, with deep, long flavors of blackberries, currants and chocolate, and while it’s drinkable now, those sturdy Diamond Mountain tannins should carry the wine forward for 6–8 years.

Hall 2008 Kathryn Hall Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $90
This is a best of barrels blend from Hall’s various vineyards, including the famous Sacrashe. The wine itself is lovely. It has a firm structure thanks to dusty tannins and a dry minerality, while bright acidity makes the cherry, blackberry, blueberry, cassis and dark chocolate fruit sing. Drink now and through 2014.
