Pretty good for Napa Cab. Super lush and plenty of oak. Not particularly interesting but easy drinking with steak.

Every once in a while you need to treat yourself. This is not an inexpensive bottle of wine but man it is so good. Smooth delicious and something to be savored. Dark fruits and spice are elegantly displayed in this wine. I am sure it will only get better with time.

So. Much. Fruit. Almost trips over itself. Domineering.

So good, just overpriced on release. Auction price is basically 2 for 1.

A friend brought this and it was exzellent. Too pricey for me with all the other Hall rockstars, but very good nonetheless.

Needs an hour to blow off the Rutherford dust, then its game on!
Better than Parkers/Lisas 95

Great even on pop & pour,
I thought this was going to be a tight & tannic wine considering it garnered 100 points for 2013 & this was only a 96. But now I’m wishing I tasted the 13 instead of flipping, this is great juice, pricey but great.
Actually canceled my membership after this last delivery, QPR is my issue with Hall. But this is still great

Bam! This wine is killer. 2014 is such a smooth vintage with structured tannins. I think this is a drink now wine.
