Praise for the 2006 HALL 
"Kathryn Hall" Cabernet

96 Points
A big, dense, concentrated wine, with wonderful aromas marked by chewy tannins, yet the core currant and blackberry flavors and savory herb and earth nuances provide a solid foundation. Best from 2010 through 2016.
James Laube, Wine Spectator Insider, June 17, 2009

95 Points "Outstanding for its purity, and the incredibly fine tannins, not to mention the compelling flavors. Black and red cherries, currants, cola, mushrooms, cedar, anise and spice flavors mingle into a long, rich finish. So balanced and elegant. Made from 95% Sacrashe Vineyard fruit, in the Rutherford AVA" Steve Heimoff, Wine Enthusiast, June 2009

90+ Points Medium to full-bodied with a more aggressive structure [than the 2005] as well as a more noticeable astringency to the tannins, but with the necessary depth of fruit and concentration for balance. Robert M. Parker, Jr. The Wine Advocate, December 2008
