Had friends down to the lake this weekend - Donna and Clint, Libby and Kevin and their respective families. Had a great steak dinner Friday night to kick off the weekend. Libby and Kevin brought a 2006 Hall Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Our other friends Rob and Michelle are always raving about this wine as well and I have had many of the Hall wines before. This is a great Napa winery, with tasting rooms in Rutherford and St. Helena. In fact, the Hall family is from the Dallas area and in addition to being known as great entrepreneurs and winemakers, they also have a love for art and sculpture and display much of it at their wineries which makes them a fun place to visit while in the Napa Valley.
Needless to say, the wine was great with our steaks. I think Robert Parker sums it up best: 95 Points "A dense, full-bodied wine with lots of creme de cassis, charcoal, licorice and forest floor, the wine is opulent and already delicious and powerful. It should continue to drink well for at least 12-15+ years." -Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
