HALL White and Rose Wines

June 21, 2023

You might not know that HALL makes some amazing white wines and Rose wines. HALL is synonymous with outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon but they have some other wines in their portfolio that are well-worth a look. HALL began back in 1992 by Katheryn and Craig Hall, and over time they built one of Napa’s most beautiful, state of the art, wineries that is quite simply a must visit for any serious Napa enophile. I always enjoy my visits to this special property. 

HALL also have two outstanding separate lines, WALT (focusing on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay) and BACA (focusing on Zinfandel) that are seriously good in their own right. These brands have performed remarkably well since their inception. The BACA line in particular offers very serious value. I am always skeptical when I review canned wine but the 2022 BACA ‘Ring Around The Rose’ Rose (OB, 90) which is without a doubt the top canned wine that I have tasted in the past year. This shows great texture and weight with bright acidity. I adored the new 2021 HALL ‘Napa Valley’ Sauvignon Blanc (OB, 92) which shows amazing flavor range and vibrant tension. Learn more about these great wines at hallwines.com Here are the fantastic new release wines by HALL.

2022 HALL ‘Napa Valley’ Sauvignon Blanc- The really good 2022 HALL ‘Napa Valley’ Sauvignon Blanc was entirely stored in stainless steel prior to bottling. It comes off very bright and juicy on the palate with ripe kiwi and pear flavors alongside copious minerals and cashew nut undertones. You’ll find this impossible to resist once opened. Drink 2023-2028- 92

2022 WALT Rose- Sourced from a range of Pinot Noir sites across California, the 2020 WALT Rose displays bright acidity with Mandarin orange zest, white peach and ripe strawberry flavors that mingle with plenty of minerals. Drink 2023-2028- 91

2022 BACA ‘Ring Around The Rose’ Rose- Made from Zinfandel grapes, this has consistently been one of the best canned wines that you will find each year.  This edition is neatly textured once on the mouth with layers of red raspberry, cantaloupe and Yakima cherry. Delicious, with bright underlying acidity this is best enjoyed now and over the next few years. Drink 2023-2026- 90
