I recently participated in another Cellar Pass TV Live show. This show was a Wine Country Fashion Show & Wine tasting and though I’m not a huge fashion fan, I could see the ladies were having a great time. With winter around the corner we have to start exchanging our summer clothes for the fall winter wardrobe. I cannot believe how fast the summer came and went. None of us in Minnesota are looking forward to winter. We can only hope its short! November 10th we received a foot of snow where I live. The snow is a month early this year. I hope there is no repeat like the winter of 2013/2014.
Sight
Medium color depth and a purple hue.
Smell
Very aromatic even without swirling my glass. The Cabernet Sauvignon was young and fruity with aromas of blueberry, bing cherry, cocoa, and spice.
Taste
It was dry, full-bodied with balanced acidity. The tannins were medium but soft with velvety mid-palate flavors and a long soft finish.
abv: 15.2%
How Much: $135 retail.
Region/Appellation: Napa Valley
Notes from the winery.
This 2011 bottling is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon fruit selected from a spectrum of vineyards — from St Helena to Howell Mountain to our Sacrashe estate in Rutherford. Our 2011 HALL “Kathryn Hall” Cabernet Sauvignon is a pure and nuanced wine to enjoy now and over the next 15+ years.
I rated the 2011 HALL “Kathryn Hall” Cabernet Sauvignon four glasses. I enjoyed the wine all evening. The Cabernet Sauvignon continued to develop and became even better through the night.
Life is too short to drink crappy wine!
