665 Kathryn Hall Cabernet Sauvignon 2015; Kathryn Hall Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 2015 Kathryn Hall Cabernet - This deep purple-black, fine wine offers up ex- uberant black cherries, black berries and plum preserves notes with wafts of crushed black currants, red roses, tilled black soil, ground pepper and cedar chest plus a touch of espresso. Full-bodied, concentrated and delivering layer upon layer of earth and spice-laced black fruits, it has a solid line of grainy tan- nins and plenty of freshness to support with a very long finish. Robert Parker – 95 points 2016 Kathryn Hall Cabernet - Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 cab sashays out of the glass with beguiling notions of warm black and red currants, fresh blackberries, black raspberries and boysenberries with touches of rose hip tea, forest floor, pencil shavings and violets. Full-bodied with a taut foundation of firm, fine-grained tannins and bags of freshness, it has layers of perfumed black and red fruits, finishing long and fragrant.

Succulent, fully-developed tannins support a long finish with a lifted, fruit quality that can only be described as energetic and age-worthy. Wine Spectator – 90 points 2010 Darioush Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon - Reflecting the strengths of Napa Valley, the Signature Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits beautiful layers of blueberry and black cherry aromas mingled with bittersweet cocoa, cinnamon and cigar box. Rich and dense on the palate, the wine is further enhanced by savory and earthbound elements of dried sage and French roast coffee. Robert Parker – 90 points Wine and Spirits Auction Main Event 2020
