Drink now or cellar for up to 15 years. Decant 1 hour before serving.

Based in the St Helena and Rutherford sub-regions of Napa, HALL Wines has a total of five distinct estates which are all farmed organically and focus on producing top quality wines from Bordeaux varieties. As well as boasting state of the art winemaking facilities, HALL St Helena has special historic significance as the former site of the local winemaking cooperative which was once responsible for making 40% of Napa’s total wine production.

In recent years HALL Wines has gained a reputation for sustainable viticulture and for exceptional winemaking. They have received three perfect 100 point scores from the legendary Robert Parker and have regularly featured in Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines.

This powerful Cabernet is named after Craig Hall’s mother, Eleanor or “Ellie”, an impressive woman who was a teacher, artist and Navy instructor. The enigmatic label design actually features Ellie’s artwork, and grapes for this bottling are carefully selected for their elegance and finesse. The young wine is aged in 60% new French oak for 22 months to add extra complexity, smoothing out the punchy tannins and seasoning the opulent dark fruit flavours with hints of toasty oak, winter spice and dark chocolate.
