Winemaker Notes
A burst of cherry in the nose opens further to reveal discrete earthiness and accents of allspice. Firm acidity provides brightness to an entry of new leather and ripe cherry and raspberry flavors. Supple tannins attenuate the seductiveness of the fruit. Try with grilled tri-tip steaks served with herb butter and homemade onion rings or bouillabaisse.

Wine
Stag's Leap Wine Cellars has produced Hawk Crest wines since 1974 with an eye towards crafting approachable, fruit-forward wines of high quality and great value.
Over the years the Hawk Crest winemaking team has carefully selected specific vineyards in some of California's most promising growing areas. Just 15 miles north of Napa Valley, Red Hill Lake County is the primary source of fruit for the well-structured, food-friendly Cabernet Sauvignon. The Santa Lucia Highlands and greater Monterey County are the source for the Chardonnay, and the richly textured Merlot is sourced from Paso Robles.
