| USA Today columnist Jerry Shriver recently recommended the 2005 HALL Diamond Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon |
 "The days are gone (if they ever existed) when one could blithely throw some extra money at an unfamiliar bottle in the hopes that it would bring exceptional rewards. Researching a wine beforehand is more important than ever, and so is honestly reassessing where your true passions lie so that you can more easily restrict your impulse purchases." - Read More

HALL Removes Fish Barrier at Napa River Ranch Vineyard |
| At HALL we take our commitment to the environment very seriously. We believe that a healthy environment leads to better grapes and better wines. Last month we wrapped up a dam removal project at our Napa River Ranch vineyard. The dam, built in 1965 on Dry Creek had once served to protect the area's vineyards from frost damage and has been credited with reducing the population of steelhead trout and Chinook salmon in the area. The goals of the dam removal project were to improve water availability and passage for fish and to protect the eroding stream banks. Read the whole story here. |

Cabernet Sauvignon |

"Lots of fruit here," she says. "I'm getting a strong flavor of black cherry. This isn't an earthy Cab; it doesn't have that musty taste. An '01 has a bit of age on it. The tannins have softened. You can tell it was really potent when bottled. This one's a keeper." Read More. |

Wine Enthusiast Awards 93 Points to 2003 Kathryn Hall Cabernet Sauvignon.
“What a roll this winery has been on the last several vintages. The ‘03 is huge, showing
masses of forward, classic Cabernet fruit. Just erupts with dark berry-cherry, plum
boysenberry and coffee flavors with rich, butterscotchy, gingersnap cookie note….
