Lot #602. Hall Cabernet Sauvignon Exzellenz 2014

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 99+ JD.
"I absolutely loved the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Exzellenz, and it pairs awesome depth and richness with crazy levels of purity. Crème de cassis, toasty oak, graphite and white flower characteristics flow to a full-bodied, perfectly balanced, silky red that doesn't put a foot wrong. It shows the approachable style of the 2014 vintage, yet has 2-3 decades of longevity ahead of it. One of the eye-opening tastings while working on this report was the lineup from Kathryn Hall’s estate located in St. Helena. There’s a wealth of wines here, yet they all have deep, concentrated, pure profiles as well as singular characters. You could pretty much randomly select from this lineup and be guaranteed to have a brilliant wine. Hats off to winemaker Steve Leveque. All the 2016s, and the majority of the 2015s, were tasted as barrel samples." Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com, Dec 2017
