Hawk and Horse Vineyards
Block Three Cabernet Sauvignon
Red Hills Lake County, North Coast, California, USA
It's time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here is a delicious one from California.
Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.
Nice nose of blackberries, sweet plums, cooked cherries, cedar, leather, vanilla, spices, tobacco, chocolates, coffee, light earth, liquorice and black pepper.
Full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with blackberries, black plums, cooked cherries, figs, vanilla, cedar, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, light vegetables and peppercorn.
Medium plus on the finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This is delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Lake County in California. Fruit forward with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.
Still young and would be better in a few years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years.
Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime. I gave it 90 minutes to open up and show the tannins.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with a nice piece of steak. Very tasty.
A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc. Aged in French oak barrels. A small production of 150 cases.
14.3% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$60.
