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)

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.

Damien has crafted a delicious Médoc, full of character with dense black currant and cherry fruit, cedar, tobacco and wonderful complexity. It’s silky complexion is what pushes it over the edge (and, of course, the price!) It doesn’t hurt that it comes from a 95-point Left Bank vintage that the Wine Advocate declared, “outstanding.”

“This supple red shows a core of cherry and plum fruit allied to olive, juniper and tobacco notes. Delivers well-integrated tannins and acidic structure, lingering nicely on the finish.”

The new release is here from outstanding winemaking team of Michel Rolland, Charles Thomas, Andy Erickson and David Jelenik. This one always represents one of the best quality-to-price ratios in all of Napa Cab and in the stellar 2021 vintage, this really stands out as one of the best the Valley has to offer. It’s a racy mix of Coombsville fruit from Atlas Peak that absolutely roars out of the bottle. Always one of Napa’s great bargains and a must have even as the price starts to sneak up here a little bit.
