In every vintage, there are a few wines that rise above. In 2012, Hall decided to separate a few barrels of these rare wines to bottle individually, creating the Platinum Collection. Each of these wines evokes a clear connection to the valley’s natural splendor. The wine is simultaneously elegant, dense and inviting—conveying a clear glimpse into the soil, slopes and climate from which it came.
Hall has created a platinum club for these wines specifically, an elusive, tiny club of elite members. I managed to snag a single trio from the club in the crazy good 2013 vintage in Napa.
The three wines featured are all Hall’s top cabs, their Rainin Vineyard Diamond Mountain Cab, their “Bishop” Cabernet and the “Sacrashe Vineyard” Rutherford Cabernet. Always scored big, in 2013 it was a whole other story including a perfect 100-point score from Parker himself. Here are all the 2013 scores for this amazing trio:
Hall ‘The Bishop’ Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2013 (WE-96, RP-95)
Hall “Sacrashe Vineyard” Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 ( JD-98)
Hall “Rainin Vineyard” Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 ( RP-100)

It’s no surprise the Wine Advocate has called the Ventoux a “screaming bargain.” Carved off the left bank of the Rhone River, the 2020 Delas Ventoux is a gorgeous medium-bodied wine with wonderful crushed red fruits, a silky mouthfeel, tremendous structure and that signature Rhone spice on the finish. I haven’t had this wine available for a few vintages, but I figure it’s the perfect springtime Red to bring back in the fold!

This is a really exciting new release in the collection of single-vineyards from the Wagner Family, and arguably the most interesting one of the bunch. This is the only Pinot Noir in the Caymus collection that has the advantage of being from a natural Pinot Noir haven in the Russian River Valley. Dairyman Vineyard’s proximity to the pacific ocean, with its morning fog and afternoon coastal breezes allows for an even and elongated growing season, with super concentrated and expressive grape clusters that help make this Dijon clone Pinot Noir one that you need.
The newly released Fiancetto Howell Mt. Cabernet is a dream – a gorgeous, elegant dark-fruited Cabernet Sauvignon that is it picks up time in the glass, unfurls its full signature of cedar laced cassis nose and mid palate of chocolate-covered cherries and savory spices. Only four palates of this (224 cases) were made off a gorgeous, sprawling high elevation spot 1500 feet above sea level. It’s full and plush and finishes fresh and oh so long. The price is crazy for Howell Mountain Cabernet but that’s what Ry Richards and Fiancetto is all about.
This is a sensational single-vineyard Merlot made from incredibly tiny clusters, full of some of the most elegant, intensely structured fruit from high atop Sonoma Mountain. Beautiful weight and balance with aromas of blueberries, black currants, sage and a hint of cocoa. It’s got a full, plush mouthfeel, pristine and vibrant fruit and a wonderful smooth finish. Thanks to Chad’s big bet on himself, he was able to make a knockout Sonoma Mountain beauty, without the need for any middleman, helping us to enjoy one of his best creations at an outstanding price.
