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 2015 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.

Dry. Tart freshness. Apples. Pear. Decent selection for a hotel reception.

Nice SV. Not extraordinary, but good any time anywhere.

I enjoy Hall's take on the varietal. A subtle smokiness on the nose with an almost Chardonnay-like body and mouthfeel has me guessing it was touched by oak. A dryer Sauvignon Blanc than what you typically see, but still the unmistakable fruit flavors like apple and pear.
