Hall Exzellenz Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Professional Ratings

• 100 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
  The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Exzellenz Sacrashe Vineyard appears to be the deepest colored wine of this group. It reveals a pungent, penetrating, haunting bouquet of black and blue fruits as well as spring flowers. Exceptionally rich with perfect balance, a multidimensional skyscraper-like texture, but no heaviness, this is a tour de force in great winemaking. The finish lasts for nearly a minute. This epic Napa Cabernet Sauvignon should evolve over the next 25 years.

  Made from 100% Cab, the grapes once again show what the vineyard, in the hills east of the Silverado Trail, can do. The French oak was 90% new, which would swamp a lesser wine, but not this one. It’s rich, full and concentrated, with excellent structure and balance. Drink now, after careful decanting, and through 2020.

  This red combines rich flavors with a deep, plush texture, offering tiers of blackberry, plum, wild berry and blueberry notes that cascade on the palate, unveiling details of red and black licorice and dark berry pie. Cabernet Sauvignon.
