Note di degustazione
Dense and rich, with very ripe black cherry and blackberry fruit that's kept fresh by brisk acidity. Hints of black tea and herbs, with ripe, rounded tannins. A juicy, flashy style. (LM)

Full red-ruby. Currant, chocolate, loam and a whiff of meat on the nose. Sweet, lush and creamy, with rather exotic flavors of currant and chocolate liqueur. A satisfying mouthful of cabernet, finishing with substantial fine-grained, dusty tannins.
Not surprisingly, the 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon is slightly more tannic and firmer, revealing aromas of creosote, coffee beans, black currants, and toasty oak. Medium to full-bodied with a more aggressive structure as well as more noticeable astringency to the tannins, but with the necessary depth of fruit and concentration for balance, it should drink well for 12-15 years. These are dramatically improved wines now that David Ramey is doing serious consulting at this winery, whose estate vineyards are superbly located adjacent to Sloan and Snowden. www.hallwines.com
