Very deep purple-black, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Kathryn Hall offers up exuberant black cherries, black berries and plum preserves notes with wafts of crushed blackcurrants, 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 tannins and plenty of freshness to support, with a very long finish.

Earthy, thick and densely packed in tannin, baked plum and nutmeg, this is an enormously fleshy, full-bodied wine with pronounced oak and heat. Forest floor, clove and tobacco figure into the flavor profile in savory, complex ways, accenting the bold power. This will do well in the cellar; enjoy best 2020-2025.
