2008 Hall Night (My house): A straw-like colour. Citrus, mineral and Japanese pear. A stoney finish, that is medium in length. Bright and tasty. Drink now - 2014.

Wife and I had during a wine tasting. Both thought it was OK, though I enjoyed it more. It grew on the wife over the evening (after the tasting). Score is 87/80 me/wife. Fairly complex flavors to a sauvignon blanc.

A bright straw to gold in color. A bouquet of apple, lemon, mineral, and toasted almonds. Consistent flavors on the palate. Creamy on the front-palate with notes of lemon zest. Gains complexity across the middle of the palate, adding notes of minerals and green apple, before finishing with light toast and spice. Well-integrated acidity, this drinks crisp but is smooth with nice weight. Slightly abrupt on the finish. Overall a fine Napa Sauvignon Blanc.

Nose: Lemon, Grapefruit, Melon and Grass. Palate: Builds from entry to finish. Lemon, lime and grass getting slightly more full. Finish: Loaded with citrus fruit and slight salty note. Quite nice for a sipper.

color ... lemon yellow, lemon highlights nose: med+, a tobacco component, hay, somewhat vegative rather than peach or citrus palate: dry, RA fairly low ... perhaps 2 grams per litre, acid is med+ tannin is low (grape skin? lees? oak -- what is giving it weight and substance?) flavors now include peach with undertones of something like oak, lees ... finish is med + finish is long, fruit is concentrated, some complexity of flavor, good length, meant to be drunk young and will not age

Pale lemon color with lemon highlights ... a bit more goldish than other SB nose: med intensity, very strong aroma of yellow grapefruit rind and pith ... curious to know if oak or lees palate: dry, RS is (guessing) 3 grams per litre (not at all sweet). Acid is med+ Tannin zero. Appears to be SS fermentation and no oak and no malo finish is med. Flavors include very strong yellow grapefruit, med_ body, very substantial wine in body to pair with a main dish such as whitefish, sole, etc.
Very concentrated flavors suggesting good selection of grapes, and a vineyard in a very cool area picked at the optimum time ...

The Kathryn Hall 2006 Cabernet is the #20 wine on the Spectator 2009 top 100. This is nowhere in that category but is a nice servicable lightweight Sauvignon Blanc. Pale, almost white with light grass and citrus.

Pop n pour. Clean notes of citrus and tropical aromas with a medium-bodied palate and an average core of acidity. The palate is more like Chard than Sauvignon Blanc, but things never get too out of balance. A Sauvignon Blanc that will pair with Lobster? David Ramey's influence here is pretty obvious.

Easily one of our favorite Sauvignon Blanc's. Just re-ordered tonight for the umpteenth time! Beautiful with any seafood or white meat.

N: guava, papaya, pineapple. Carried through on palate, with med++ acidity, and alcoholic on finish. 14.4% threw off the balance of this wine
