Note di degustazione
(15.1%; from a vineyard in the Mayacamas Mountains): Brooding dark ruby. Liqueur-like aromas of crushed blueberry, molten dark chocolate and spices enlivened by cooler herb and menthol nuances. At once creamy and a bit medicinal in the mouth, offering flavors of black plum, black cherry, chocolate truffle and spices. Seamless in texture but hints at a wide range of fruit ripeness. Has just enough mid-palate richness to support its building, slightly drying tannins.

A new offering, the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Segassia from Mt. Veeder is my favorite of this quartet. There is something about the fruit from this area that tastes like blood of the vine. Blueberry pie notes intermixed with jammy black raspberries, cassis, graphite, and acacia flowers jump from the glass of this impressively constituted, rich, full-bodied 2007. This sensational wine should age effortlessly for 20-25 years. Hall Winery appears to have turned things around in a very dramatic and positive fashion. The 2006 turn around vintage, the strength of the 2007s, and the impressive 2008 barrel samples have convinced me that this is definitely another serious player in Napa Valley. David Ramey is the winemaking consultant at Hall. There are four separate bottlings of 2006 Cabernet Sauvignons. To reiterate, I tasted the 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Segassia, 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Exzellenz, 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Bergfeld, 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Diamond Mountain, 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Jack’s Masterpiece, and a new offering, the 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Kathryn Hall, all meriting potential ratings between 90 and 94 points. Readers should be giving Hall Winery serious attention. Tel. (707) 967-2626; Fax (707) 967-2639
