In the 1970's, Swiss businessman Nicolaus Hahn and his wife Gaby purchased two ranches and developed them into vineyards in California's Central Coast. Decades later, Hahn Family Wines now comprises over 1,000 acres.

In German, "Hahn" means "rooster" ... the logo proudly displayed on their label as a nod to Nicolaus' European heritage.

Their Monterey County vineyards sit above the fog line, allowing grapevines to benefit from full sun. Yet maritime breezes moderate afternoon heat, allowing the grapes to attain their maximum potential. We are fortunate to carry these outstanding vintages from Hahn Estates.

Besides the importance of vineyard sourcing, an important winemaking aspect of the Pinot Noir is that it is stainless steel fermented with lees stirring. This, along with the particular yeast strain I have been using, adds a creaminess and viscosity to the wine that coats the palate. -- Paul Clifton, winemaker

Smith & Hook 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon
CAL932 Hahn Estates

On the palate, this lush and textured wine expresses dense dark-berry flavors, baking spice and espresso, with dusty tannins, well-developed acidity and a lingering finish. A great match to red meat.
