HALL Wines, founded by Kathryn and Craig Hall, is a premier Napa Valley winery with a rich history dating back 150 years. The winery operates from two locations: the historic St. Helena Bergfeld Winery, acquired in 2003 and reopened as HALL St. Helena, and HALL Rutherford, established in 2005. HALL St. Helena boasts California's first LEED® Gold Certified winery, blending historical significance with modern innovation. The estate encompasses over 500 acres of vineyards planted with classic Bordeaux varietals across Napa Valley's diverse terroir. Under winemaker Steve Leveque's guidance, HALL Wines combines meticulous vineyard management with cutting-edge technology to produce wines that truly express the unique character of Napa Valley's soils and climate.
HALL Wines' Merlot is a stunning example of the varietal's potential in Napa Valley. This wine displays a deep ruby color, indicative of its concentration and depth. The nose is open and inviting, offering beautiful aromas of violet, fresh cherry, blackberry, and cocoa. On the palate, concentrated red and dark fruits take center stage, harmoniously layered with fine-grained tannins that provide excellent structure. The finish is notably long and fresh, continuing the fruit notes while introducing subtle baking spices and a hint of cracked pepper. This Merlot showcases HALL's commitment to producing wines of elegance and complexity, perfectly balancing fruit expression with structural finesse.
