Hall Wines

Bergfeld St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Ken Venezio

9.3

Along with Jacks Masterpiece this is one of the best Cabs produced from Hall. Loads of texture, complexity, balance and everything that's good about a fine cab. Bottle age served this well. Going to enjoy this well into the night. — a month ago

Michele Chiarlo

Le Marne Gavi Cortese 2017

Ken Venezio

8.9

Love this value wine from Michele Chiarlo. It's produced on Gavi from the Cortese grape. Light citrus notes of lemon, melon and crisp green apple. If you hold this wine to your ear it will whisper a floral bouquet of lavender. Nice finish. Great paired with seafood, pasta, or any lighter dish. — 3 months ago

Ellie's Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Big bold Cab from Hall. Loads of blackberry, plums, and dark chocolate. The balance and structure here is almost perfect. Not overly tannic with a long and velvety finish. The bottle age has really helped this wine. — 2 months ago

Ladera

Howell Mountain Malbec 2011

Ken Venezio

9.4

Very tight and earthy out of the bottle even after a double decant. After an hour + this opened to amazing blackberry, blueberry and loads of cherry. Tannins and finish are just elegant. Might be one of the best Malbecs ever from Ladera. — a month ago

Serralunga d'Alba Barolo Nebbiolo 2013

Ken Venezio

9.3

Such a nice Barolo. Gave it a 2+ hour of decant and it could have still used an hour more. Loads of licorice on the nose and fruit mid palate. Tannins are perfect. I'd definitely buy again. — 2 months ago
