In 1980, Nicky and Gaby Hahn purchased a horse and cattle ranch in the highlands of Monterey County. The ranches, Smith and Hook, had been home to grazing cattle for generations and were then transformed into premium vineyards. When they purchased the property, the first (estate) Monterey County Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were harvested for wine.

Hahn Estate - The cool-climate wines from Monterey County. This Cabernet Sauvignon is the Estate wine of Hahn. It is a beautiful and sturdy Cabernet. This Smith & Hook has a bouquet with notes of mocha, coffee, toasted oak, vanilla, black currants and licorice. Extensive flavors and the round, viscous mouthfeel supported by a concentrated tannin structure with a smooth, lush finish.

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving De 2018 Hahn Smith & Hook Cabernet Sauvignon uit Monterey County biedt een mooi evenwicht tussen krachtige en verfijnde smaken, met tonen van mokka, koffie, geroosterd eiken, vanille en zwarte bessen. Dankzij de stevige tannines en het ronde, weelderige mondgevoel is deze wijn een uitstekende keuze bij gerechten met rundvlees en gevogelte, vooral wanneer deze bereid zijn met rijke, geroosterde of gegrilde technieken die de smaken versterken. Hij past perfect bij gegrild of langzaam gegaard vlees, zoals een sappige steak of een stoofpot, en komt ook tot zijn recht bij feestelijke charcuterie of gerechten met een volle, kruidige saus.

Hahn winery is located in Monterey County, one of the 58 counties in California. The area is breathtakingly beautiful and has an ideal climate and excellent conditions for growing wine. Hahn winery cultivates, in a sustainable manner, approximately 650 hectares of vineyards in the Santa Lucia Highlands, as well as another 461 hectares in nearby Arroyo Seco AVA. The vineyards in the Santa Lucia Highlands consist of 4 farmlands located on a high, hilly area, overlooking the Salinas valley. The precisely planted vines are guaranteed abundant morning sun. The Pinot Noirs of this winery owe their intensity and complexity to the beautiful soil structure and good drainage. The wind is also an important factor. As the Salinas Valley warms up during the day, the air rises and is replaced by the cool air from the lower and cooler Monterey Bay, creating a wind tunnel, as it were.

As early as 1790, Spanish missionaries discovered the rare soils and favorable climate of the Santa Lucia Highlands of Monterey and planted vines there. Some 200 years later, when founder Nicolaus (Nicky) Hahn and his wife Gaby bought estates in the Highlands, cattle, sheep and horses roamed the hills. Vineyards were only a secondary concern.

After discovering that the land he had bought was ideal for viticulture, Nicky acted quickly, releasing the first Hahn wine from the Santa Lucia Highlands (SLH) in 1980. After hard work, Nicky's dream of designating SLH as an official American wine-growing region came true in 1991.

Currently, Hahn Family Wines is managed by Philip, the son of Nicky and Gaby. Santa Lucia Highlands is famous worldwide for the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that are made there.

The wines from winery Hahn are all real quality wines made from the finest, hand-picked fruit.
