title: Hawk Watch Winery 2011 Signature Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (South Coast)
description: From the relatively hot South Coast comes a big, powerful, chewy wine, with aromas of dried blackberries, light leather, some smoke and purple flowers. The real heft is on the palate, where sour tar is laced through stewed black plums, dark chocolate and herbs like dill and oregano. The tannins are a bit stiff.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
