A delicious new Sauvignon Blanc from Napa's up an coming Hall Winery! 92 Points Wine Enthusiast: "Voluptuous and well-developed, this is tingling in acidity with a luscious mouthfeel and flavors of ripe peach, grapefruit and vanilla bean. Complex, the citrus is seasoned with a vibrancy of herb and pepper spice. A delicious wine for fresh oysters or crab cakes." The 2014 HALL Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc balances expressively ripe fruit with bright, buoyant acidity. The backbone of this lusty blend hails from a vineyard partner in the cool region of Yountville and delivers ripe vibrant citrus flavors. Fermented mostly in stainless steel tanks and refrained from malolactic fermentation, this Sauvignon Blanc possesses an assured fruit forwardness, freshness, and focus. The grapes were harvested at the height of ripeness and stirred the yeast lees after fermentation. The result is a rich wine with layered texture. Aromas of pink grapefruit and Meyer lemon blossom are complemented by a lush cascade of guava and lychee on the palate carrying through to a crisp, ringing finish.

Pale straw with green edges and fragrant aromas of tropical and citrus fruit with hints of garden spice. The palate shows fresh fruit flavors of peach, nectarine, lemon, and crisp apple, with the subtle earthy mineral tones. The wine has lively acidity on a medium length finish ending with creamy tones. Good value! Very Nice!

Ok not as zippy for its youth as I would have thought.

Pale yellow with jasmine and toast aromas, medium bodied with high viscosity, stone fruit flavors with oakey, rounded acidity. Reminds me of Rhone white blends, Chardonnay. Very well-made, but I do really like the lighter fresh NZ style.

I drink this wine as part of a Hallwine tasting event at Trezo Mare. This is one exceptional sauvignon blanc. It does not have the grassy or citrusy nose or taste like so many do!

Fresh and citrusy. Sharp light flavor. A little alcoholy. If you let it rest for a while the sharpness dissipates slightly. Overall tastes like alcohol water with a touch of lemon. I'm surprised Wine Enthusiast gave this 91 points.
