Hawk and Horse, Red Hills Lake County (California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

 I like the overall structure of this offering – the tannins are supple, the acidity is bright, and the fruit and spice are very lively without feeling over-extracted.  The expected bold side Cabernet profile is evident, and the finish is very long and bright.  It’s great on its own, or it will run the table from white meat to red, and everything in between.  Lake County speaks clearly here, and that’s always a good thing.
