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

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

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
