Hall Ranch
Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon
Paso Robles, Central Coast, California, USA
Dark ruby hues and lots of earthy aromas featuring leather, vanilla, and chocolate. Some berries in there too, mostly dark cherry, but covered up by some bone dry acidity and a dusty fabric left on my tongue.

Dark, almost opaque ruby color.
Smokey oflactory character develops.
While no means sweet there is a dark cherry, black cherry, black forest, dark chocolate vibe, with a long finish offering some tannins here and there. There's something that sits with you on the palate which might be vanilla or something.

Wonderful. Dry, but full bodied with rich, complex flavors and aromas. 2019 vintage

Deep dark ruby. Almost completely opaque. Lovely on the nose. Lots of fruit: black cherry and toasted cherry pie. There's also some earth and rustic leathery qualities here. It's very fruit forward though. Medium to medium+ tannins. Medium+ acidity. It's got decent length on the finish. There's some things I really like about this wine, but what stands out, however, is just all that vanilla character from the oak. I've had much worse before, but to me it's still a bit too much. That's what throws the balance off here. With a little more refinement this wine could be better. It's got some good things going for it.

Great wine for the price. Sneaks up on you. The aroma isn't powerful until first sip, when your nostrils truly appreciate it.

Not a big fan of this one. It’s a little too oaky and a bit off for me.

Practically opaque, clear edges, garnet ruby, fruit bomb nose, with some leathery things happening as well, sour cherry, underripe plum, black pepper, clunky tannins. Super dry and not worth it

Tannins, some oak, vanilla, - okay and drinkable. Had w Parmesan in meal that mellowed the tannins.
