95-97+ Points Barrel Score Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Deep garnet-purple colored, it bursts on the scene with bright, cheery, expressive notes of kirsch, black raspberries, blackcurrant pastilles and violets, plus suggestions of unsmoked cigars, bouquet garni and fragrant earth. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers wonderful freshness with youthful, crunchy red and black fruit layers and finely grained tannins, finishing on a lingering minerally note.

The stunning 2019 HALL ‘Kathryn Hall’ Cabernet Sauvignon offers a seamless, pillowy texture mid-palate. Showing good weight, and underlying acidity. Dense and jam-packed full of blackberry and huckleberry flavors, this connects with espresso grounds and dark chocolate shaving accents. This is dense, hedonistic and silky, remarkably approachable Cabernet Sauvignon that is absolutely delicious to consume right now.

Rich and ripe, with a caressing edge to its plum paste and cassis core, while melted red licorice, red tea and iron notes add range and length through the fine-grained finish. Not shy on stuffing, but there's a nice sense of refinement to the structure, which lets the fruit play out nicely.
 
Winemaker Notes
Our Kathryn Hall Cabernet Sauvignon is our signature blend that is ultimately defined by its core of dark, succulent Sacrashe vineyard fruit. Dark ruby-purple. Deep, alluring aromas of black currant and black plum are layered with expressive notes of dark chocolate, espresso and a perfume of lavender. Supple, concentrated and seamless, the palate displays vibrant fruit with undertones of tilled earth and sea salt. Firm, integrated tannins provide a structured backbone to the opulence of the wine, finishing with a lasting, powerful impression.
