We first visited with Hall Wines in 2007, just two years after they opened their state-of-the-art Napa Valley winery. With just a few vintages under their belts at the time, the winery showed remarkable promise. Today, Hall has matured into a winery whose wines establish them as a true part of the winery landscape. Hall neighbors include some of Napa’s oldest and finest, with V. Sattui, Prager Portworks and Louis M. Martini practically surrounding the winery.

Today’s Hall Winery 2011 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a classically styled Napa Cabernet that gets a special lift from the Hall style of winemaking. Their wines are rich and ripe - but still built to age - making their wines ready to drink, right on release. And, while today’s wine is wonderful right now, we think that it will continue to improve over the next decade.

Enjoy this wonderfully flavorful wine all on its own, or with a variety of richer food pairings. A grilled porterhouse steak with mushrooms and peppercorn butter is a wonderful go-to choice for this beautiful beast of a wine.
