From a site at 2,400 feet elevation, this wine’s aroma suggests pencil lead, cedar, clove and mountain sage. With its juicy midpalate of black cherry and cassis, it unleashes firm, grippy tannins on its long finish, showing structure but also grace.

Blend: 99.3% Cabernet Sauvignon, 0.7% Cabernet Franc

92 Points –Jeb Dunnuck

Sourced from Pocket Peak, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Jackson Estate Hawkeye Mountain is packed with aromas of concentrated black plum skin, cedar, and sage. This is a full octane wine that does not shy away from its structure and power. Notes of dried herbs, fresh tobacco, primary black fruits, and light bourbon toast emerge on the palate. Hold this red a couple years and enjoy over the next 10 or more years.
