Cortese
Filter
Cortese is an Italian wine grape variety used to create white wines. Earliest records of Cortese date to 1659 in Montaldeo and note that all vineyards were planted with the Cortese or Vermentino variety. Cortese was widely planted in the 1800s in Piedmont due to its ability to withstand disease and to produce high yields and good quality wine. Wines containing the Cortese variety are medium bodied wines with notes of lime and greengage. Some vines grown in cooler regions tend to produce very acidic flavors, but producers have found a way to mellow the tone of the wine with oak barrel fermentation. The taste of the Cortese white wine is said to be a signature Italian taste, with pleasing aromas and light flavor. The wines are typically higher priced due to the location of Piedmont, where the wines are produced. Growers, however, have planted Cortese in California, although the amount planted is quite small. Cortese is mostly linked with the Cortese di Gavi wine that is created in the area of Alessandria. The grape has a moderate level of acidity and a light flavor, and is paired well with seafood dishes. In restaurants in Genoa, the wine is paired with fresh seafood from the Lingurian coast. Cortese is also used to blend with the Bianco di Custoza.

Hall Wines The Kathryn Hall Cabernet Sauvignon is made from 96% Cabernet, 4% Merlot.
The 2017 Kathryn Hall is deep, dark ruby in color and elegantly balanced with layered aromas of concentrated blackberry, freshly turned earth, and a hint of warm, spicy oak. The palate is fruit-forward with underlying notes of rich cocoa and leather. Layers of black fruit, nutmeg, cassis and brooding earthy notes are abundant. Supple, seamless tannin abounds, and the wine finishes with an incredible dark fruit feed-back that lasts several minutes.
Review:
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Kathryn Hall is a blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot, brought up mostly in new barrels. It’s a killer bottle of wine offering lots of ripe black fruits intermixed with savory herbs, melted chocolate, and tobacco. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it shows the lush, round, velvety style of the 2019 vintage and is already impossible to resist. It’s going to evolve for 15+ years if well stored.

Segla Rauzan Margaux is made from 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot, 1% Cabernet Franc.
Deep ruby in appearance, Segla delivers aromas of blueberry and vanilla on the nose. On the palate it is medium bodied with silky tannins.
Review:
Takes a very fresh approach, with an open-knit feel to the mulled raspberry and red currant fruit. Pretty lilac, incense and singed apple wood notes underscore the fruit, while silky but persistent tannins carry the finish. Shows latent depth and precise balance, so don't let this early charm fool you, as this should unfurl beautifully in the cellar. Best from 2022 through 2040. 10,000 cases made.
