February Tasting “Hahn Estates”
In German, “Hahn” means “Rooster” and for this reason, a rooster embellishes the Hahn Winery label honoring the Hahn family's European heritage. And while Smith & Hook remains the first wine produced by the Hahn family, Hahn Winery is the primary wine brand produced by the Hahn family.
The Smith Ranch had been a horse ranch, while the neighboring Hook Ranch had raised cattle for generations. With their prime location in the Santa Lucia Highlands overlooking the Salinas Valley, these ranches-turned-vineyards presented ideal growing conditions for growing premium varietal fruit. Smith & Hook Winery released its first vintage of Cabernet Sauvignon to high acclaim in 1980. In 1991, Nicky created the Hahn Winery brand to showcase supple, accessible, and attractively priced wines from the family's Monterey County vineyards.
For our tasting this evening, Hahn will be serving the following wines…
¨ 2010 SLH Estate Chardonnay
¨ 2010 Huntington Sauvignon Blanc
¨ 2010 Hahn Signature Series Pinot Gris
¨ 2009 Smith & Hook Cabernet Sauvignon
¨ 2010 Hahn Signature Series GSM Red Blend
¨ 2010 SLH Estate Pinot Noir
