Hall Cabernet Sauvignon Bergfeld 2013
The Winery
Hall
Hall Wines was founded by Kathryn Walt Hall and her husband, Craig after she inherited vineyards from her father who was a grape-grower in Mendocino County for several decades. The winery is located just south of downtown St. Helena in California’s Napa Valley, and they specialize in Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Sauvignon Blanc. Half of the wines come from the estate vineyards surrounding the winery which is about 300 acres, while the rest come from growers throughout Rutherford, Atlas Peak, and the Alexander Valley.
Grapes are handpicked in each vineyard, and the producer uses modern winemaking techniques to produce their traditional New World style of wine. Perhaps their most well-known wine is the Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon from the Artisan Collection, which is aged for 22 months in 75 percent new French oak. The 2012 vintage was recently awarded 98 points by Robert Parker.

This wine is crafted using meticulous hand-sorting and aged in new French oak, reflecting the quality of the celebrated 2013 vintage. It is characterized by its full-bodied nature and a rich flavor profile that includes prominent blackberry and currant notes, complemented by hints of licorice and cedar. The wine possesses silky tannins and a plush mouthfeel, making it approachable yet robust, with a powerful structure that promises longevity. The blend showcases a harmonious balance of ripeness and earthy undertones, ideal for collectors.
Tasting Notes
- WA94+
- The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Bergfeld, which comes from a vineyard in St. Helena, has a softer underbelly than the two mountain Cabs, but beautiful blueberry and blackberry fruit, floral notes, silky tannins, and a nice plush mouthfeel that builds incrementally. This full-bodied, luscious wine should drink well in its first 15-20 years of life.
