2021 HALL Kathryn Hall Cabernet Sauvignon 1.5L
Critic Review
"...Deep garnet-purple in color, it waltzes out with gregarious notions of stewed black plums, black cherry compote, and creme de cassis with hints of clove oil, dark chocolate, and cedar..."
95-97 Points | Jeb Dunnuck
"...ripe, concentrated, impressive 2021 offering lots of ripe plum and darker currant-like fruit as well as ample baking spice, leather, and dried tobacco notes..."
97 Points | Owen Bargreen
"...a knockout bottling that follows an incredibly long line of this wine...The palate is soft, round and generous with a seamless texture, showing serious concentration and power. Finishing long with roasted figs, refined tannins and copious minerals, this is a silky, elegant Napa Cabernet that is already drinking beautifully."
94 Points | Wine Spectator, James Molesworth
"This is in the lush, forthright style, with waves of warmed cassis, plum reduction, and fig preserves. Moves steadily, showing hints of singed alder and cedar, along with warm earth and tobacco nuances along the way. Finishes dense, deep and broad in feel."
2021 HALL Kathryn Hall Cabernet Sauvignon 1.5L
Vintage after vintage, our Kathryn Hall Cabernet Sauvignon is characterized by complex aromas and supple, layered tannin. The 2021 bottling is perfectly integrated, and opens with aromas of blackcurrant, fresh earth, graphite and dark cocoa. On the palate, there is a wash of opulent and lingering tannin with notes of dark fruit, wet stone, and a touch of iron. This is a pure and nuanced wine to enjoy now and over the next 10-15 years.

The Kathryn Hall Cabernet Sauvignon is the pinnacle of our blending efforts each year. The exalted Sacrashe vineyard takes center stage, and is the basis of this blend. The vineyard contributes the mouth-coating richness and complexity, offering deep, dark earthy cassis flavors and powerfully dense tannins. From there, we search out complementary vineyards, usually from the most regarded mountain appellations, to create balance, symmetry and finesse in the wine. Lastly, we introduce vineyards with profound depth and decadence to heighten the voluptuousness and opulence that have become a hallmark character of our flagship wine.
