Note di degustazione
The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Diamond Mountain is one of the more distinctive wines in this range from Hall. Bold, racy aromatics make a strong opening statement. Ripe dark cherry, plum, juniper berry, black pepper, dried flowers and exotic spices all give the 2016 a decidedly savory profile that is utterly beguiling.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon delivers open-knit notions of Black Forest cake, crème de cassis and black raspberries with hints of tar, smoked meats and menthol plus a hint of tree bark. Full-bodied, the palate has a firm frame of grainy tannins and soft acidity supporting the savory black fruits, finishing earthy.
A smoking value, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley offers classic notes of blackcurrant and blackberry fruits intermixed with more earthy, tapenade, and olive-like aromas and flavors. It too is full-bodied, has remarkable purity, a seamless texture, and a beautiful finish. It tastes like it cost 2-3 times the price. I was able to taste two wines from this terrific estate. The majority of the 2016s are still in barrel and readers should look at last year’s Napa Valley report for those reviews. The estate opted not to show any 2017s.
The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon (Diamond Mountain) is laced with the essence of dark cherry, plum, menthol, spice, new leather and savory herbs. Vibrant and pulsating with energy, the 2016 has so much to offer. Mountain structure plays off the typically lush Hall fruit beautifully.
