Deep ruby, med+ body, soft tannins, red and black fruit. Some integrated oak, not unpleasant, CA merlot not my usual jam. Find more. — 2 months ago

2008. This rounded out nicely after ~5 hours in the decanter. Dark fruits and spice with a little more acidity than I was expecting. Paired well with a rack of lamb. — 4 months ago

Nice balance, not as rich as I anticipated as many Hyde’s are from Patz. — 4 months ago

Rarely do I go over the top on ratings but this is very deserving. Just extraordinary in its complexity, balance and profile. Dark and inky in the glass, loads of red and black fruits, cedar and a hint of chocolate. The finish just lingers and the tannins have softened. I'd say this was well worth the wait. — 6 months ago

Badda boom. What a flavor bomb. Glad I gave this some time in the bottle and a good decant. Dark violet in the glass. Loads of blackberry, cherry and a burst of cedar cigar box. Once again Hall delivers with toothy tannins and long tasty finish. — 9 months ago

Super Bowl Sunday 2023 Chardonnay. Larry Hyde grows reliably good berries. 2017. Austere, linear, well-balanced. Cheers! — a year ago

This site was, at one time a moonshiner site, subsequently planted by Charlie Chenoweth with Pinot Noir. Medium Ruby color with aromas of dark berry fruits with notes of herbs, citrus, herb and spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry, ripe strawberry and cherry with espresso, vanilla and herb tea spice, well balanced with acidity. Fine tannins on a long finish ending with cedar, baking spices and earthy character. Very nice! — 3 months ago

This was juicy but not too much of a fruit bomb. Layers of strawberries and cherries with a subtle earthiness. Mineral driven palate complemented by great fruit on the medium plus palate. 30+ second finish. Wish I had another. — 4 months ago

Might have lost its luster. Just not what I've expected from a cellar aged Cab from Hall. Gave it a 2 hr decant. Still has plenty of balance and structure. Just lost some of its fruit and luster. Medium finish. — 9 months ago

Bright and punchy fruit, with plenty of acid and tannin to coast into a second day. Very Hall. — 2 years ago
