Hall Wines is one of the premier producers of Cabernet in the Napa Valley. Their offerings include many single vineyard sources from Stags Leap, St. Helena, Diamond Mountain, Mt. Veeder and famous blends such as Kathryn Hall and Jack's Masterpiece.
The 2009 HALL Bergfeld St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon is 100% sourced from the Bergfeld vineyard which was originally planted in 1859 and now the home to one of Hall's tasting rooms.
The first trait of the wine is revealed when it is poured into the decanter. As with most other Hall Cabernet's the wine is a deep purple. The front palate has notes of red fruit and a subtle notes of Maui sugar cane. The red berry and slights hints of oak are joined by velvet tannin's at the mid palate. The soft and velvet tannin's carry the finish to an extended length that coats the entire mouth giving added layers of complexity.
The 2009 HALL Bergfeld St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon retails for $100 and can be enjoyed now but has the structure to lay in the cellar for another decade. I recommend to buy two, one to drink and one to hold.
