The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Diamond Mountain District is once again a huge, hulking Cabernet bursting with the essence of black fruit, tar, smoke, graphite and minerals. It shows fabulous intensity all the way through the building, dramatic finish. This statuesque Cabernet is a great wine in the making. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2025. This is a thrilling set of wines from Hall. The estate favors a rich, extroverted style, yet all of these wines have distinct personalities and tons of sheer character. Meticulous viticulture followed by native yeast fermentations, slow, natural malos and minimal rackings are at the heart of the approach at Hall. The wines are aged in French oak (mostly Taransaud, 40-90% new) and are bottled with no fining or filtration. Readers who appreciate the more opulent side of Napa Valley will find much to admire here. Simply put, I was blown away by what I tasted. As outstanding as the 2009s are, there is a very good chance the 2010s will turn out to be even better.Tel. (707) 967-2626
