About This Wine


Hawthorne Grove

Dark & Spicy Red

And Hawthorne Grove is one of our most award-winning wines: it was named the Monterey County Pinot Noir Winery of the year in 2016, as well as taking home high points, double gold medals, and great reviews. This wine took home Gold from the 2018 International Women's Wine Competition! Hawthorne Grove has distinguished itself as a rising star in California winemaking, winning accolades for multiple wines across multiple competitions. On the strength of their first wine alone they were named Monterey County’s 2016 Pinot Noir Winery of the Year. They craft wine using grapes from vineyards all across California and this dark and spicy blend is a celebration of the state’s finest fruits. It has notes of blackberry, wild herbs, and blueberries that melt in the mouth and are balanced by a spicy finish. We think the wine is best paired with charcuterie.

Wine Region


California

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.

Tasting Notes


  • A figure representing the Blackberry tasting note. Blackberry
  • A figure representing the Spices tasting note. Spices
  • A figure representing the Blueberry tasting note. Blueberry

The Hawthorne Grove is spicy, with a little bit of blackberry and herbs that fill the glass. With a nice medium body to hold together the tannins the dark fruit shines through. We think that it pairs very well with grilled meats or charcuterie.
