2022 HALL Terra Secca Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2022 vintage of Terra Secca opens with inviting aromas of black plum, freshly turned earth and grilled herbs. Densely structured and focused on the palate with flavors of mocha-laced blackberry, savory undertones, and crushed gravel. The dynamic and powerful mid-palate has a slight tension to it that is softened by the lush and lengthy finish. This wine will age gracefully for years to come.

Inspired by our vineyard sources along the Soda Canyon corridor, this blend is crafted from vineyards with pronounced influences from the rocky, dry soils and hillside aspects. This translates into highly structured and dense wines. Due to low vigor growing conditions, the vines endure stress which manifests in the wine and is evidenced in the firm tannin and lengthy finish.

Vintage Notes | Ample winter rain, followed by temperate and dry conditions through March gave us a good start to the vintage. The spring and summer months were consistent and warm, resulting in small but healthy canopies and balanced vines. Labor Day came with a curveball from Mother Nature in the form of a prolonged heat wave that accelerated harvest at many of our vineyard sites, followed immediately by much cooler weather and a bit of rain. This refreshing slow-down allowed the remaining grapes to hang a bit longer, yielding beautifully balanced fruit and polished tannin. Overall the 2022 vintage is fresh with pure, concentrated flavors. |
