Hall "Kathryn Hall" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Owen Bargreen : 97 Points

(10/23/2023) The 2021 HALL ‘Katheryn Hall’ Cabernet Sauvignon is a knockout bottling that follows an incredibly long line of this wine. Mainly coming from the Sacrache Vineyard, this wine displays beautiful dark florals on the nose alongside mocha, creme de cassis and exotic spices. 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. Drink 2023-2040.

(12/26/2023) The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Kathryn Hall comes from a mix of sites in the valley. It's a 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. Rich and full-bodied, with ripe tannins, beautiful mid-palate density, and a great finish, this ripe, sexy, pleasure-bent beauty will also evolve gracefully.

Wine Spectator : 94 Points

(11/15/2024) 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. Feels like a throwback to the late '90s/early '00s power style. Best from 2025 through 2038. 4,900 cases made.

Vinous - Antonio Galloni : 94 Points

(5/2024) The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Kathryn Hall is built on a core of the best blocks at Sacrashe. It offers up copious red-toned fruit mixed with sweet spice, floral notes and mocha overtones. As is typically the case, the Kathryn Hall is one of the more aromatic wines in the range. Drinking Window: 2026 - 2036.
