HALL & WALT Wines<br />
Craig and Kathryn Walt Hall arrived in Napa Valley in 1995, <strong>with</strong><br />
a singular vision to develop a great wine estate, showcasing Napa<br />
Valley’s finest variety: Cabernet Sauvignon. “We believe that great<br />
wine is cultivated in the vineyards,” explains Kathryn. “The ability<br />
to plant, farm, and harvest the grapes for our own wines enables<br />
us to have control of the wine quality from beginning to end,<br />
<strong>with</strong>out compromise.”<br />
Completed in 2005, the gravity-flow HALL Rutherford winery, was<br />
specially designed to pro<strong>du</strong>ce small, premier lots of wine <strong>with</strong><br />
unyielding attention to detail. HALL St. Helena winery boasts<br />
unmatched winemaking technology and a spectacular property<br />
featuring a Tasting Room, historic Bergfeld building and a collection of<br />
modern art. In July 2009, HALL St. Helena became the first pro<strong>du</strong>ction<br />
winery in California to receive Gold Level LEED® Certification from the<br />
U.S. Green Building Council.<br />
Led by Director of Winemaking Steve Leveque, HALL wines are<br />
crafted to accentuate plush, extracted-fruit character and soft, finegrain<br />
tannins.<br />

In 2010, the Hall’s launched a second wine brand, WALT Wines. WALT<br />
