Nestled in the northwestern hillsides of Napa Valley, the Diamond Mountain District is sparsely planted, with fewer than 550 acres under vine. This warm hillside appellation is perfect for ripening Cabernet Sauvignon, the prevalent variety of the area. With porous, volcanic-derived soils, the vines produce distinctively earthy, chocolate-laced flavors, wrapped around rich, opulent tannins.

The 2023 vintage of Diamond Mountain has a classic aromatic profile of dark cocoa, dried herbs, lavender, and freshly turned earth. The wine is immediately rich, dense, and focused on the palate with cascading flavors that linger on the finish. Dark chocolate and freshly tilled earth are accompanied by blackberry preserves and strawberry coulis. This wine will age gracefully over the next two decades.

The Kathryn Hall Cabernet Sauvignon is the pinnacle of our blending efforts each year. The exalted Sacrashe vineyard takes center stage, and is the basis of this blend.

Warm and expressive, this wine opens with aromas of dusty earth, spice, chocolate, and ripe dark cherry. On the palate, it is lush, supple, and expansive, with opulent texture and a long, layered finish.

This wine is named for Craig Hall's mother, Eleanor “Ellie” Hall, who was an artist and a teacher. She inspired Craig’s love of art and it is her artwork that graces this wine’s label.

Our 2023 Ellie's offers initial aromas of mineral and violet that fully open into a perfume of marionberry, grilled herbs and earth. The polished texture of the mid-palate palate echoes the minerality on the nose with layers of fresh and supple tannins that lead to a graceful, vivid finish. This is a truly elegant expression of Cabernet Sauvignon.
