Wine Spectator’s James Molesworth explores Napa Valley’s mountain terroirs, including HALL Wines’ Mount Veeder Beller Vineyard. Molesworth met with HALL Winemaker Megan Gunderson at Beller, where she shares how years of working with the site revealed its potential as a distinctive single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon.
The feature traces the evolution of Beller Vineyard, from its first single-vineyard bottling in 2019 to the acclaimed 2023 vintage, which earned 96 points from Wine Spectator.
“You can just tell with some vineyards. They have a distinct profile. Sounds cheesy, but it’s true.” — Megan Gunderson, VP of Winemaking at HALL
