2008 Lonehawk, Cabernet Sauvignon

  • Tasting Notes
  • Wine Enthusiast said “A beautiful Cabernet in every respect. It’s full-bodied and dry, with focused black currant and cedar flavors wrapped into firm, dense mountain tannins. Shows the ability of these coastal mountains to ripen Cabernet Sauvignon to perfection.”
  • Oak
  • 20 months, 100% new American oak
  • Vineyard Notes
  • High in the Santa Cruz Mountains on a steep southeast facing slope of uniform deep gravelly loam rests the venerable “Lonehawk” vineyard – fruit from which has been a key Cabernet component in a number of well-known brands throughout the mountains. Recognizing the “Lonehawk Vineyard” power and character to stand alone, La Honda Winery obtained the exclusive multi-year rights to manage this vineyard and produce this stunning release.
