The Winiarski family has produced Hawk Crest wines since 1974. Over the years, the winemaking team has carefully researched and selected specific vineyards in some of California’s most promising growing areas from which to source fruit for these exciting wines. Hawk Crest winemaker Mark Smith draws on two distinct areas in California to craft this approachable yet well structured Cabernet Sauvignon. The climate and diverse soils of Paso Robles in California’s Central Coast provide bright red berry fruit, while the high altitude and volcanic soils of the Red Hills district in Lake County give the wine structure and depth. Small percentages of Merlot, for texture and mouthfeel, and Petit Verdot, for mid-palate grip and intensity, were also added. The wine was aged for 12 months in French oak barrels for added complexity and polish.
Notes
This wine makes an outstanding first impression with its vibrant ruby colour and distinctive aromas of black cherry, spice, black pepper and tobacco. Silky tannins and dark cherry flavours stand out against a backdrop of spicy notes and hints of vanilla. Perfectly balanced with a soft entry, well-integrated oak and a long, rich finish, this Cabernet Sauvignon will pair well with roasted game, grilled meats and moderately rich sauces.
