Hawk Crest Red Hills Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

Wine: Hawk Crest Red Hills

Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon

Region: Lake County, California

Country: USA


Year: 2008

Price: $8.95

Shop Review: From Stag’s Leap winery this is textbook California Cabernet Sauvignon with dark fruit, red cherry and black pepper spice notes. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with inviting blueberry pie and cocoa flavors. Enjoy this wine with grilled rib eye steak with herb butter, braised beef short ribs, or black-pepper-crusted ahi tuna.

My Review: The main smells that I picked up on with this wine was red fruits and a pepperiness that was very pleasant. It was mostly dry but a little bit sweet at the same time, with nice dark fruit flavors.

Did not have with food.
