This wine offers fragrant aromas of grapefruit, lemongrass, citrus, lychee, and orange blossom. On the palate, it's bright and lively with thirst-quenching acidity and pure flavors of mandarin orange and honeysuckle, leading to a lasting aftertaste.

Named after the co-founder, this is HALL’s signature bottle — deep, complex, and luxe. Blackberry, cocoa, leather, and spice all layered together. A splurge-worthy Cab that really delivers.

Fresh, zesty, and beautifully balanced. Bursting with citrus blossom, white peach, and hints of melon and minerality. A refined Napa Sauvignon Blanc that’s as versatile as it is refreshing — great with seafood, salads, or sipping solo.

Classic Napa Cab done just right — dark berries, espresso, and a silky, rich finish. Bold but elegant. This is one of those “everyone at the table loves it” bottles.

Classic Napa Cab with depth. Black cherry, cocoa, and hints of oak. Smooth tannins make this one rich but totally approachable.
