Way too early but found this on the cheap at Costco. Wanted to beta test. Recommendation: stock up. Blackberry fruit is quickly overtaken by bacon fat, iron, tobacco, leather, and floral flavors. The tannins remain strong, if not astringent, providing ample backbone suggesting this can easily go another 15 years. Buyer beware: this needs to be your thing. — 8 years ago

I just love Hall wines. The Napa Valley Cab is always fantastic, reliable, and a great value considering it can hang with wines 2-3x the price. The 2013 is no exception. Yes, it's young. But a beta test was needed to see how much more acquisition was in store. [Answer: plenty] A lot of black cherry, currant, and mocha. The tannins are strong, as expected; if you can't resist, give this a good, long decant. But you'll be better served by laying it down and letting it do its thing. You can thank me later. — 9 years ago

Very good bouquet, which leans toward the oaky side then the fruity. More like a dark current then berry taste on alpha. The oak mostly hits in the beta. — 9 years ago

Jammy red fruits with smooth tannins and slight spice. None of the vegetal character that sometimes overpowers Cabernet Franc from the Finger Lakes. Finish is a little short for my liking, though. — 12 years ago
