Nice wine though doesn't rank for me among Hall's best. It's still quite tannic and has nice balance and rich dark fruit. It has a nice concentration and intensity but lacked some complexity. Still an excellent wine. We had it over two days. It was slightly better the second day. I might want a year or two before I open the second bottle.

This bottle is a weaker entry than the previous (so far). Blackberries, balsamic. Smooth but not much structure. Vanilla and spice elements are in hiding.

Nice wine but it needs some cellaring. Dark purple/ crimson color with a soft nose. On the palate, dark berry fruits, cassis, plum and some coffee. The wine and tannins need time to resolve and settle in, but better days are ahead for this wine. There are some 2017's that are pretty wines and this Hall Cab is heading in a destination should prove pleasing with patience. 92 Points.
