Wine Shop | 2022 HALL Jack's Masterpiece Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting notes

Our 2022 Jack’s Masterpiece is powerful and layered with open aromas of black cherry, cassis, graphite and black pepper. The palate is dense, dark, richly structured and full of blackberry flavor, accompanied by notes of crushed rock and dried sage in the background. A balanced and lengthy finish is backed by concentrated tannin that will age for decades to come.

Wine Facts

Jack’s is blended at the same time as Kathryn Hall, with different components being selected for the stylistic goal of the wine. Our Jack’s Masterpiece will typically come from many vineyard sources and appellations, but tends to be dominated by hillside fruit. The goal here is dark black fruit, power, chewy tannin, and a focused palate. The blend can be described as having blue and black fruits on the nose – blackberry, and black cherry with hints of wet stone or pencil lead. The palate is dark and brooding with dense tannin and structure.

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.
