HALL Wines is located in Napa Valley and employs organic small-vine viticulture and precision winemaking. A blend of 97% Merlot and 3% Malbec. Very deep red with soft berry fruit aromas, complex but not overpowering adding a touch of spice. On the palate raspberry and cherry flavors with vanilla, cacao and some oak. Needed about 45 minutes to show itself. Smooth tannins, great balance a joy to drink.

Plump and aromatic. Dark fruits and slight graphite on a full body. Very nice.

Full fruit noise, slight spice on the tail of it. Med to high alcohol with long legs in the glass. Smooth mouth feel at first and acidic on the back. Some structured tannins with a lot of dark tasting tannins on the back. This is a promising wine that will be boatloads better in a few years. I'm getting a few more bottles to keep.

Trying out this Kathryn Hall Merlot... it's pleasant, and maybe a bit bitter in the back? Cant put my finger on it. Regardless, happy to be enjoying it!

Raspberry jam, vanilla, and a touch of toasted wood on the nose. Great red fruit with a smokiness that fills but doesn't over power the palate.
