2009 Hall Cabernet Sauvignon

I tried this Hall cab while at the Westin Napa. It was their featured wine in the Bank Cafe & Bar, which had tasty tuna lollipops.

It has a beautiful dark cherry color with dark red fruits on the nose. Really mellow aroma, and no sting of a high alcohol content.

Nice jammy flavor, especially cherry. The tannins are strong but smooth, a really nice grab on the tongue, and lingering pepper and spice. Nice minerals and woodsiness, too. Truly wonderful, lingering cab.

Almost makes up for the valet crunching the side mirror.
