Tucked into the rugged westside hills of Paso Robles, Hawks Hill Ranch yields a Cabernet Sauvignon of undeniable character. This vintage leads with deep aromas of ripe plum, summer berries, and graphite, grounded by leather and tobacco leaf. Cassis and dried red fruits drive the palate, lifted by savory herbs and a mineral core. Bright acidity keeps the structure taut, while firm, sinewy tannins grip and release in a long, layered finish. Expressive yet restrained, this is a Cabernet built for both power and longevity. Only 200 cases produced.
