2016 HALL Wines Cabernet Sauvignon Stags Leap District

(97 Points)  --  (Jeb Dunnuck)

Coming from a tiny appellation in the heart of Napa Valley, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Stag's Leap reveals a saturated purple/ruby color to go with a ripe, incredibly sexy bouquet of blueberries, blackcurrants, ripe tobacco, loamy earth, and dark chocolate. More spice and floral notes emerge with time in the glass, and it offers full-bodied richness and depth, sweet tannins, awesome purity of fruit, and a great finish. This is a brilliant Cabernet from Stags Leap that's already accessible yet will evolve for two decades.    Review Date: 01/2020
