During the blending season, Mike Reynolds, winery president and former winemaker, personally selects barrels from our cellar to compose “Jack’s Masterpiece.” Stylistically, Mike crafts a blend that is lush and lusty with dark, ripe fruit balanced by soft, velvety tannins.
The 2006 Jack’s has hit its mark. Piqued aromas of marionberry, briary fruit, mocha-laced plum and black licorice bound from the glass. Waves of voluptuous dark chocolate and spiced-fruit compote coat the palate. This “masterpiece” will continue to please for 8-10 years.
Price: $70/Bottle | $756/Case
HALL Club Members enjoy first access to this wine.
The story of Jack's masterpiece begins on Father's Day of 2006, when Mike Reynolds was presented with a painted canvas by his 18-month-old son, Jack that he had made himself in the backyard. Mike proudly hung the painting in his winery office. When the wine was ready to bottle in 2007, Mike Reynolds was also bestowed the task of picking the label, which typically features a select work of art from the winery collection. However, Mike decided to go a different direction and chose an extra special work of art for his handcrafted bottle, his son's painting. Hence "Jack's Masterpiece' was born, a tribute to legacy, pride, and passion, releasing just in time for Father's day, 2008.

Now, on it's second vintage, this wine has quickly become one of the most sought after wines in the HALL Artisan portfolio.
Praise for the 2006 HALL "Jack's Masterpiece" Cabernet Sauvignon:
96 Points -J.L., Wine Spectator
"Amazing for its complex mix of flavors, which ranges from mint-herb, loamy earth, dried currant, black cherry and berry fruit that’s deep and supple, gaining velocity. Well-structured, this ends with firm tannins and a long finish. Best from 2010 through 2017." -J.L., Wine Spectator, June 2009
94 Points -S.H., Wine Enthusiast
"A gorgeous Cab in every way. Seduces for its fantastic wealth of black currants, dark chocolate, plum, cedar and spice flavors that are so deep and long. Yet the richness is balanced with beautifully ripe, refined tannins and just-in-time acidity. Distinguished and classic. The grapes are from St. Helena, Diamond Mountain, and HALL's Sacrashe Vineyard. Now through 2012." -S.H., Wine Enthusiast, June 2009
