Smith & Hook
Central Coast, California
Hahn Family's Smith & Hook captures the best this warm growing region has to offer
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Smith & Hook
Cabernet Sauvignon
Sourced from four Central Coast appellations, Smith & Hook Cabernet Sauvignon captures the essence of each terroir and their effect on the final blend. Monterey County brings balanced acidity and minerality from its gravelly, dry riverbed soils. San Antonio Valley's long growing season allows for full, deep flavors of plum and currants. The warmer Hanes region creates intense blackberry and spice aromas. The warm growing region of Paso Robles brings black cherry notes and supple tannins. Barrel fermented in French oak for up to 10 months allows these flavors to mingle into a single robust and richly layered wine.
NOTE: This is NOT a Firstleaf Exclusive Wine and is not eligible for discounts, member pricing, or member guarantee. Limited Availability.

WINE REGION:
Central Coast
California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
Smith & Hook
The Smith & Hook Vineyards remain family owned and operated by Nicky and Gaby Hahn. Even with their own success with cool-climate varietals like Pinot Noir, they knew this warmer coastal region was ideal for the heartier Bordeaux varietals.
