Hawk Crest
A classic approach to everyday wines.
Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars has produced Hawk Crest wines since 1974 with an eye towards crafting approachable, fruit forward wines of high quality and great value. Over the years, the winemaking team has carefully selected vineyards in some of California’s most promising growing areas to source fruit for Hawk Crest Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Chardonnay. This pursuit led us to areas like Red Hills Lake County, an emerging appellation just fifteen miles north of Napa Valley that produces well-structured, food-friendly Cabernet. For Chardonnay, the journey took us to Santa Lucia Highlands and the greater Monterey County where we found bright acidity, minerality, and ripe fruit flavors. Further down the coast, in Paso Robles, we found richly textured fruit for Merlot.
