Highland Estate Hawkeye Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
Alexander Valley, Sonoma County, California, United StatesHawkeye Mountain is the spectacular signature KJ property on Alexander Mountain and home to owners Jesse Jackson and Barbara Banke. The 2005 is easily the best yet bathed in spicy black cherry, and tobacco scented fruit flecked with green olive, liquorice and cassis. Clone 4 and 7 cabernets, grown on steep hillsides and terraces provide a firm structure for this red wine to live a long life. An impressive savoury, made from small clusters of small berries sitting well above the valley floor at 900-2200 feet elevation. Buy and cellar for 5 to 7 years and beyond.Tasted: 02 December 2007Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $83.00 | 750ml | speculative listing - Summit Fine Wines |
