Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

a Cabernet Sauvignon from Alexander ValleyCA

The 2018 Alexander Valley Estate is a ripe, robust edition of our flagship. It is, as ever, one hundred percent Cabernet Sauvignon blended from all three of our estate vineyards. Fruit from our mountain vineyard, named Pyramid, makes up more than half the blend with the balance close to evenly split between our other two ranches - Red Winery and Stone. The nose on the 2018 shows black cherry, cassis, fig, and chocolate. But all that ripe fruit bellies a decided tannic palate and grippy, dry finish. The tannin of the 2018 reminds me of good year in Bordeaux, the fruit reminds me of a good year in Alexander Valley. Drink fall 2022 through New Year's Eve, 2040.

Winery Picture

Hawkes

The Hawkes Family has been growing grapes in the Alexander Valley for forty years. Today, the Hawkes family farms over eighty-five acres of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Chardonnay vineyards in the southern half of Alexander Valley, all planted on sparsely-soiled hillsides, all yielding small amounts of intense fruit. In bottling small lots of Hawkes Wine, we aim to translate our extraordinary standards for the quality of our grapes into extraordinary wine, estate grown and produced in Alexander Valley, Sonoma County. You’ll know if you’ve had our wines.

We have a tasting room in the Alexander Valley just outside of Healdsburg and a tasting room just off of the Sonoma Town Plaza. Open daily!
