Great Review of our 2011 Cabernet (2)

Wines for Easter Dinner

Hawk and Horse Vineyards 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon

This limited production Cabernet Sauvignon from California’s Lake County in the Red Hills AVA, is well-situated in the northern Mayacamas Mountains and tows a stringent Demeter Biodynamic certification along with it. Not your typical California Cabernet, this bottle carries an almost Old World elegance, perhaps its the 80% new French Oak, or the minimalist philosophies that direct cellar operations, maybe it’s the touch of Bordeaux-inspired Petit Verdot; whatever it is the sum of this wine is the consummate calling for an Easter Dinner that features prime rib.
