@Mike Rowe I agree. Fantastic but it just didn't quite if the complexity or finish of the others. With that said, it's still an insanely great bottle of juice!!

Clear and bright pale lemon. Clean pronounced aromas of ripe apricot, sage, fennel and gingerbread. On the palate it's dry albeit with a lush glyceric texture with medium plus intensity flavors of of apricot pie with a smiley charred crust and a touch of nutmeg and spice. Medium plus alcohol, medium plus acidity, well integrated oak, balanced with a medium plus finish. Complex, unique and well balanced. Only 22 barrels. #staritahills #chardonnayfromthebestplaceonearth #chardonnay #centralcoastwine #californianwine #sbcountywines — 9 years ago

Hall Wines

Kathryn Hall Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Okay, 2011 was supposedly a bad vintage. Don't tell the folks at Hall. This is really nice Napa Cabernet. Not a giant fruit bomb but excellently integrated tannins and acid. Very nice tastes of black fruit, raspberries and spices. The finish brings on very nice hints of coffee and smiley oak. A very nice wine that probably has another 8-10 years to mature. — 9 years ago

What a difference from the last bottle, which I apparently rated 8.3 (Based on the old "smiley face" scale). This one was crisp with no spritz. Great Cali Chard. Hope the remaining two bottles are like this. — 11 years ago

Vintage Port Blend 1977

We need more smiley faces for this one. Finish lasted at least 45 seconds. Still enough alcohol for several more years of collaring. Heather is enjoying it again on night two. — 11 years ago
