Robert Hall 2011 Margaret’s Vineyard Orange Muscat (Paso Robles)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Let’s call this a dessert wine, but you could easily serve it with a weekend brunch of scrambled eggs and smoked trout or salmon. It’s sweet in honey, tangerines and vanilla, brightened by zesty acidity. It would also be lovely as an afternoon apéritif.

Robert Hall 2000 Merlot (Paso Robles)
- $18
Dark and plummy, a wine grown in a hot region where the grapes got very ripe and the acidity is low. As a result it’s got sweet dark berry and stone fruit flavors, but seems a little flat on the palate, with dusty tannins.

Robert Hall 2001 Zinfandel (Paso Robles)
- $24
Blackberry, sage and thyme flavors are at the core of this wine. It’s a bit herbal, but well-balanced nonetheless, showing moderate length on the finish.

Robert Hall 2002 Syrah (Paso Robles)
- $18
An easy to like Syrah with good character. It’s fruity in cherry and chocolate flavors, and very dry, with a pepper and spice aftertaste.

Robert Hall 2004 Sauvignon Blanc (Paso Robles)
- $14
Although this dry, Musque-clone wine will go with just about anything, try it with a smoky, honey-baked ham sandwich on a lightly toasted sourdough baguette, slathered with Dijon mustard and garlicky mayo, and layered with sliced fresh tomato, butter lettuce, roasted red pepper and crumbly chevre. My goodness, pure heaven.

Robert Hall 2003 Merlot (Paso Robles)
- $18
Heavy, soft and full. What it lacks in briskness it makes up for in complex flavors of cherries, tobacco and sweet sage, and rich, intricate tannins.

Robert Hall 2005 Sauvignon Blanc (Paso Robles)
- $14
It’s fresh in vibrant acidity, with grapy flavors of citrus and gooseberries. There’s a creamy lushness to the texture that softens and attracts.

Robert Hall 2003 Hall Ranch Reserve Syrah (Paso Robles)
- $34
A bit too soft and simple, although it’s a pretty good wine with some nice blackberry jam, black cherry pie and cocoa-cinnamon flavors. This is a wine in progress, better than the 2002, but not quite as good as the 2001.
