11 of the Best Organic Red Wines We've Tried
Check out some of the best wine made with organically grown grapes, and check back periodically for updates. By Dan Shapley
Hall Wines Cabernet Sauvignon
This extraordinary red is a staff favorite - and not just because it was served at our 2010 Heart of Green Awards ceremony.
The 500-plus-acre Napa Valley vineyard – specializing in classic Bordeaux varietals – is organic, though it won't say so on the bottle. The vineyards were certified in 2010 and the wine-making facilities boast California's first LEED Gold-certification. But about that wine...
"Displaying deep, dark garnet color and lovely aromas of marion berry, bramble, chocolate plum and all-spice," Hall writes about its 2007 vintage, "the palate is lush and concentrated with boysenberry, cassis, anise and semisweet chocolate. Rewarding now, this wine will continue to evolve and delight for 5-10 years."
If only we could be patient enough to wait. It's so good now! ($44 at hallwines.com and wines.com, or $40 at wine.com)
