Hall, Napa Valley Red, 2019

Classic Napa Cabernet from one of the valley's most ambitious modern estates. Kathryn and Craig Hall built their portfolio across St. Helena and Rutherford with a singular focus on premium Napa Cab, and this is the wine that introduces their house style: ripe but composed, polished by French oak, and built for the table rather than the cellar shelf. The Cabernet-led blend (rounded out with small portions of Merlot and Petit Verdot in most vintages) leans into Napa's generous fruit, while six years of bottle age have started to soften the seams. 2019 was a benchmark vintage in Napa, and this red is drinking handsomely right now.
