Kathryn Hall Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 3L Double Magnum

The 2018 Kathryn Hall Cabernet Sauvignon is a flagship expression of Napa Valley luxury, primarily sourced from the historic Sacrashe Vineyard. It pours a deep, opaque purple and opens with a decadent bouquet of blueberry compote, black currant, and dark chocolate, accented by nuances of crushed stone, dried lavender, and toasted oak. On the palate, the wine is massive and opulent, displaying incredible density and a seamless, velvety texture. Its ripe, fine-grained tannins are perfectly integrated with a rich core of black fruit, leading to an exceptionally long and powerful finish marked by notes of espresso, spice, and graphite.

97 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate     

A barrel sample of 97% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Merlot, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Kathryn Hall is opaque purple-black colored with a beautiful perfume of bold black currants, Black Forest cake and aniseed with candied violets, ripe red and black plums and rose hip tea notions plus a waft of forest floor. The full-bodied palate is a little closed and tightly wound with elegant, fine-grained tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and fragrant.

95 Points - Wine Spectator

 Rich and ripe, with a caressing edge to its plum paste and cassis core, while melted red licorice, red tea and iron notes add range and length through the fine-grained finish. Not shy on stuffing, but there's a nice sense of refinement to the structure, which lets the fruit play out nicely.
