Surprisingly well integrated for a 13. Dry, powdery, firm tannins, dark currants, blackberries, black raspberries, dark plum, olallieberries, skin, coffee, dry, tuff leather, showing strong woodiness, dry crushed rocks, anise, red & dark florals. Hold another 7-10 plus years.

The owners son drew the label when he was 18 months old.

3-hour decant. Aromas of espresso beans, violets and graphite. Blackberry and black cherry on the palate. Nice balance between fruit, acidity and tannin.

Not sure I can say it any different than @Paul T or @Shay Aldriedge. Classic Napa Cab.

I love Hall. Haven't had any of their wines that I didn't think were absolutely delicious. I will say, however, that this is the least approachable of their '13s that I've had. Big and bold. Plum, herbs and candle wax on the nose. Coats the mouth in purple. Cigar box and espresso on the after finish. 98-99 from RP. Try in 5-7 at minimum.

Had a glass or two while grilling some steaks and watching NFL playoffs and it was a masterpiece.

Loads of Hall DNA in this wine. To use an old 70s term, thus wine has Body and Soul. Loads of fruit and a great finish. Have it a good hour decant to really open up.

A bit tannic, with alcoholic heat on finish. Fruit is there, but seems off balance. May integrate better in a few years. 99 pts RP - not seeing it. Hold.
