This wine incorporates choice fruit from vineyards throughout Napa Valley - from small rugged hillside sites of Hall's partner growers to each of their estate vineyards. By blending these various lots, they create a rich panorama on the palate, a landscape of complexity and character that clearly depicts Napa Valley.
The 2022 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon opens with lifted aromas of dark chocolate, vibrant red fruits, wet stone, and subtle oak notes. Seamless upon entry; with mouthcoating density, the palate is well-structured and carries flavors of dark briary fruits, earth, and mineral. The finish is long and finessed.
Varietals: 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot
93 Wine Enthusiast Punchy aromas of plum compote, cherry coulis, cocoa, and cinnamon drive the nose of this Cabernet. The palate possesses rich tannin and neatly balanced acidity framing flavors of baked blackberry, dark chocolate, graphite, and purple flowers through the finish. Very charming right from the jump.
92 Owen Bargreen The 2022 ‘Napa Valley’ Cabernet Sauvignon has a touch of Merlot blended in. Inky in the glass, this delivers sweet pipe tobacco aromatics that combine with kirsch, sandalwood and blackberry cordial notes. The palate is fresh and well-structured with bright red fruits, graphite and loads of minerality considering the heat of the vintage. Drink 2025-2032
