"I loved the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Kathryn Hall, a darker, rich, rock solid 2022 that has some upfront appeal yet still brings good density, depth, and structure. Blackcurrants, darker plums, iron, black olive, and truffly notes all shine in this pure, polished, elegant Cabernet, and it's medium to full-bodied, has a pure, elegant mouthfeel, sweet yet present tannins, and a great finish..."

Tasting notes

The 2022 Kathryn Hall Cabernet Sauvignon opens with warm, inviting aromas of dusty earth, spice, chocolate, and ripe dark cherry. Voluptuous upon entry; the palate is lush, supple, opulent, and lengthy; all of the elements we look for in crafting this signature blend. This vintage will age beautifully for the next 15-20 years.

Vineyard notes

Sacrashe Vineyard

Located just above the eastern edge of the Rutherford appellation at 790 feet, Sacrashe provides a profound expression of what hillside Cabernet Sauvignon can be.

Challenging Soil Conditions

Extremely limiting volcanic tuff soils are mixed with rock and lie over a structure of bedrock. These challenging conditions yield fruit that is rich, dense, earthy, and opulent.

Unique Climate

The cooling effects of Lake Hennessey, combined with southern sun exposure, result in additional berry complexity that is reflected in the wine's dense fruit flavors.

Vintage Notes

Ample winter rain, followed by temperate and dry conditions through March gave us a good start to the vintage. The spring and summer months were consistent and warm, resulting in small but healthy canopies and balanced vines. Labor Day came with a curveball from Mother Nature in the form of a prolonged heat wave that accelerated harvest at many of our vineyard sites, followed immediately by much cooler weather and a bit of rain. This refreshing slow-down allowed the remaining grapes to hang a bit longer, yielding beautifully balanced fruit and polished tannin. Overall the 2022 vintage is fresh with pure, concentrated flavors.
