Making 2 wines under the guidance of well respected winemakers Dick Peterson and Scott Harvey, Hawk and Horse show off how good Lake County Cabernet Sauvignon can be.

The 2007 Cabernet is the 3rd release and is a burst of dried currants and cocoa. Aged for 18 months in French oak this wineis medium bodied and offers nice tannins with a long, lingering finish. With only 430 cases produced this wine is a greatexample of what a well balanced wine should be and should sell out at $65 so get yours soon.

Approx $45.  Posted by Sandy ...Read More
