"The 2016 HALL Merlot is another fantastic bottling from this famed Napa estate. On the nose this takes on lovely crème de cassis and tar aromas that mingle with shades of blackberry cobbler on this expressive nose. The soft texture is inviting as the wine unveils copious dark fruits and chocolate flavors. This deftly walks the tightrope of unveiling the warmth of the vintage yet also displays some restraint. While fantastic now, this compelling Merlot will continue to evolve well for at least another decade."

Our Napa Valley Merlot is a complex blend of several vineyards, incorporating fruit from our estate vineyards. As Merlot tends to ripen early, we selected fruit from cooler vineyard sites to enhance the vibrant and expressive character of this finicky variety.

Medium ruby in color, this wine opens with floral notes of rose petals, violets and lavender. Ripe blackberry, black cherry and vanilla round out the nose. On the palate, the wine is supple with dark fruit, baking spice, cedar, and a mineral-driven finish.
