Winemaker Notes
Aromas of cinnamon, anise and tea are present in the nose, with fresh blackberries and some vanilla in the background. Flavors present themselves in a similar fashion to the aromas, with the smooth tannins making this wine easy to drink in its youth. With additional bottle aging, the wine will continue to improve. This wine pairs well with spicy Oriental dishes, pizza, Mexican foods, Cajun dishes and most red meats. I enjoy this wine in lieu of a beer in many instances and it's great at barbecues and picnics. Cabernet Franc is always a joy to make and I hope you enjoy the efforts of all of here at Hahn Estates. Sante. -Art Nathan, Winemaker
Hahn Estate wines feature grapes sourced from estate vineyards in the Arroyo Seco appellation of Monterey County. A hidden gem, located below the Santa Lucia Highlands, these vineyards sit on a gravelly alluvial plain with rocky soils fostering excellent drainage. Cool winds channeling South from Monterey Bay through the Salinas Valley ensure gradual ripening, full development of vibrant fruit flavors and bright acidity. Arroyo Seco, one of the smallest AVAs in the state, boasts one of the longest growing seasons. In this region, warm and sunny days are followed by cool afternoons once wind blowing in from the Monterey Bay sweeps through the Salinas Valley. This daily cooling effect allows for longer hang times and creates ripe fruit.
