concentration herb Clos Du Val Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 21 good vantage @, Dmar, 251012 — 15 days ago
I’ve waxed (eloquent? Well, at least waxed!! 🤔) about the virtues and quality of this excellent 2020 Zinfandel multiple times, but this wine is still punching well above its weight (the so-called “leftovers” that didn’t make the single vineyard cut), long finish, lovely!! Going to the Bedrock pickup party in Sonoma tomorrow to get some of the 2024s I’ve already purchased, so this is a great warmup!! — a month ago
Deep Ruby color with aromas of black fruits, cedar and baking spice. On the palate flavors of ripe cherry and strawberry with cola, floral and sweet cinnamon herb spice notes. Full-bodied, fine grainy tannins, long finish ending with fruit, toasty oak, herbs and a savory earthy mineral character. Nice! — 25 days ago
2020 vintage. Excellent second time around too. — 4 months ago
Clear, deep ruby in color (almost purple); on the nose, it's clean with pronounced primary and secondary aromas of black cherries, cassis, and graphite; on the palate, it's dry with medium acidity, medium tannins, medium alcohol, medium body, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of black plum, violets, blueberries, and wet slate with a long finish. This wine is intense and complex, but could use a bit more acidityto balance the fruit. Overall, I rate this wine as very good. Nellie liked it with food. — a month ago
Really balanced Andrea finish. A touch thin keeping it from amazing — 11 days ago

Still drinking well. Loads of up front black and blue fruit and the structure you'd expect from Hall. This wine is mellowed with 6% Merlot but still big and bold. Easily goes both 5-7 yrs. — 14 days ago
