Drank over two nights. Opened after coming home from the hospital with my first child (boy). While still exhausted, the wine was a great treat and had that trademark Sacrashe rutherford hills notes. Plush but not overdone, 2013s are still drinking well now and still have many years left. The fruit is still plenty there. Not worth the initial ticket price, but much better for the secondary price.
New Year’s Eve dinner paired with beef filet. So good. Velvety smooth with juicy, dark fruit. Balanced tannins. Great now but has plenty of cellar time left.

Hall Premier Tasting Event (Hall Winery): Like the excellenz the 2013 sacrashe is just fantastic. The terroir is much more obvious in this wine and less blended and refined. I think the olive / anise is a bit much whereas I find the excellenz more restrained albeit slightly more extracted. This wine is amazing, bright, you can feel the weight and rutherford dust in each sip. Superb effort.
