Hall Coeur Cabernet Sauvignon 2015 | 98pts “Rocked my Palate”
The Hall Coeur Cabernet Sauvignon 2015 presents deep garnet in color. While this wine emanates a bouquet of brambly raspberries and African violets layered with barrel notes of caramel and toffee. Rich black plum and black cherry are at the forefront of the palate. Finally, an underlying minerality of pencil lead complements the bold, firm texture and full body. Winemaker Megan Gunderson

COMMENTARY: In my book Hall is one of the most important producers of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2015 Hall Coeur Cabernet Sauvignon rocked my palate as much as any wine I have tasted in the last six months. TASTING NOTES: This wine is packed, layered, and ultrarich. Its aromas and flavors of alluring red and dramatic black fruit, with a dollop of oak, should make it a delicious choice with a well-marbled grilled ribeye. (Tasted: April 9, 2019, San Francisco, CA)
