Hawk & Horse
California’s North Coast
Three Cabernet Sauvignon
A wave of black cherry and mocha plum are dispatched on a plush pillow. Chewy, the liquid engages with flavorful tannins and develops an intimacy with the palate. A valentine of plum and pomegranate is delivered on the finish.
Cabernet Sauvignon
Medium purple color. Deep but tart aromas of blueberry and black cherries, with complex, deep and spicy tones: tar, mocha, sage, sweet red pepper, black pepper and balsamic glaze. The palate is full but smooth and the acidity is quite balanced. Tangy plums and juicy black currant fruit blends well with leather, paprika, black pepper, spicy tobacco and mint.
Petite Sirah
Deep purple color. The nose shows a nice mix of tangy plums and blueberries, with spicy pepper, anise, some coffee, toffee and mocha. Nice grip on the palate but the tannins have these suave edges and the acidity is really nice, balancing out the deep plum and currant fruit. Notes of black olive, tar, mocha, black pepper and bell pepper add complexity.
Petite Verdot
Dark purple color. A deep core of roasted figs, plum sauce, along with charcoal, graphite, tilled soil, coffee grounds and violets. The palate shows a solid core of roasted figs and currant paste, grippy tannins, moderate acidity, impressive balance and complexity.
