Hall Wines
Ellie's Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
It was the end of the day when we arrived at Hall & I was burnt out writing detailed notes. So, I’m just going give you my notations.
I liked the Ellie’s. More than that, I like its style and the fact it drank so well with only two years in bottle. Ellie’s showed nice softness and integration. Similar wire to wire and simply delicious. You can drink it now and for the next 7-8 years. 2016 such a good Napa vintage & Hall did well.
Once I arrived at Hall, I remembered why I had left it to the back of my visit list for so long. It’s not that the wines aren’t good...they are and it’s a beautiful setting, it’s just a bit of a tasting factory.
