Robert Hall 2007 Blanc de Robles White (Paso Robles)
- $20
Dry and balanced, this is a great food wine, with its crunchy acidity and minerality. A combination of Roussanne, Grenache Blanc and Piquepol, it shows nuanced flavors of the zests of Meyer lemons and limes, figs and green melons. Robert Hall is producing some of the most interesting white wines in Paso Robles.

Robert Hall 2006 Sauvignon Blanc (Paso Robles)
- $15
Stylishly dry, with acidic citrus, green grapes skin and lime-zest flavors that are zesty on the palate. Twenty percent barrel fermentation and sur lie aging provide a touch of vanilla cream and tastebud-stimulating sourness. A wine that will showcase food without overpowering it.

Robert Hall 2000 Zinfandel (Paso Robles)
- $22
You can smell the hot country sun in the pruny, raisiny aromas and taste them in the mouth. The alcohol is a high 15.1%. Normally all this would be a recipe for disaster, but there’s something likeable about this distinctly California, bone dry Zin. Despite the weirdness, it pulls it off.

Robert Hall 2001 Hall Ranch Syrah (Paso Robles)
- $30
From the east side of the appellation, a polished, supple wine, with easy tannins and the flavors of red and black cherries. Has interesting nuances of coffee, plums and spices, too.

Robert Hall 2004 Syrah (Paso Robles)
- $18
Opens with aromas and flavors of blackberries, cocoa and licorice that turn softly fruity and polished in the mouth. There’s a scour of acidity that plays point-counterpoint to the ripe fruitiness of this highly drinkable Syrah.

Robert Hall 2006 Viognier (Paso Robles)
- Online Exclusive
- $19
Does a nice job of balancing Viognier’s exotic personality with the demands of elegance. The flavors are all here, peaches, pears, pineapples, honey and vanilla, among others. But there’s a good bite of acidity, and the finish is absolutely dry.

Robert Hall 2007 Chardonnay (Paso Robles)
- $21
Balanced and dry, this Chardonnay has pleasant flavors of green apples and pineapples, with creamy, yeasty complexities achieved through barrel fermentation and lees aging. The price is fair for the quality.

Robert Hall 2007 Viognier (Paso Robles)
- $21
This is a nice wine, very dry and crisp in acidity, with a sleek, minerally taste. It feels like a Sauvignon Blanc, but the flavors are much richer, suggesting peaches, nectarines and golden mangoes. The wine was barrel fermented.
