HALL, Sacrashe, Cabernet Sauvignon, Rutherford 2013

Highlights:

Ensconced by 100-year-old oaks, manzanita and pines, the Sacrashe Vineyard is composed of distinctive volcanic ash soils (tuff). An undulating topography creates numerous microclimates and slope grades. The Rutherford hilltop terroir creates difficult growing conditions and limits the vigor and yield of each vine, resulting in harvests of not more than three tons per acre.

HALL's small-vine farming practices further limit the yield such that each vine produces less than four pounds of fruit each year. Rutherford berries are small and concentrated with intense flavors and tannins. The wines are exceptionally rich, expansive and massively structured. The concentrated fruit maintains a focused clarity and the fine-grained tannins create a balanced frame.
