2021 HALL Terra Secca Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2021 Terra Secca features powerful aromatics of concentrated dark fruit, cocoa, and crushed gravel with earthy undertones. Blackberry and black plum flavors shine through on the palate, along with notes of minerality and a hint of black pepper. The bold, dark fruit flavors carry through onto the palate and drive a rich, unctuous, yet firm tannin structure. The intense and lengthy finish is chock-full of dense and slightly chewy tannins.

Inspired by our vineyard sources along the Soda Canyon corridor, this blend is crafted from vineyards with pronounced influences from the rocky, dry soils and hillside aspects. This translates into highly structured and dense wines. Due to low vigor growing conditions, the vines endure stress which manifests in the wine and is evidenced in the firm tannin and lengthy finish.

| Vintage Notes | The alluring 2021 vintage is notable for its low yields, which resulted in an extra degree of concentration in our wines. In a second year of severe drought, the vines grew quickly in the warm spring weather while our team carefully managed irrigation block by block. By summer, the vines had set a lighter than average crop, and cooler weather in August allowed time for multiple vineyard passes to finetune the fruit load and manage the canopy. After a smooth harvest season, we are excited about the beautifully balanced, flavor-packed 2021's. |
