HALL Cabernet Sauvignon, Sacrashe Vineyard 'Exzellenz' 2016

The 2016 'Exzellenz' Cabernet Sauvignon is a limited production release that was entirely sourced from the Sacrashe Vineyard located on the eastern ridge of the Vaca Mountain range in Rutherford. Simply gorgeous in this vintage, this immediately unveils wonderful aromatics of crushed mint and black tea that mingle with crème de cassis, Turkish coffee and blueberry compote which all come together in the glass. The silky texture is remarkable, as soft tannins beautifully frame the flavors of blackberry pie, blueberry, tar, milk chocolate and earthy minerals that all marvelously amalgamate on the palate and linger beautifully on the long finish. Seductive and deep in its youth, this sensational Cabernet should evolve gracefully over time and offer a drinking window that could span decades long.
