Hahn 2007 SLH Estate Syrah (Santa Lucia Highlands)
-
$27
A dark, rich, ripe Syrah that defines the California style, and preserves the fine structure that this cool-climate region lends to red wines. The wine is dry and tannic, and the flavors, of blackberries, cherries, blueberries, dark chocolate and sweet, smoky oak, are just delicious. Now and for a few years.

Hahn 2010 SLH Estate Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)
-
$35
A beautiful wine, rich, dry and crisp, offering waves of satisfying flavor. Raspberries, cherries, red licorice and cola flood the mouth, accented with sweet, smoky new French oak, and wrapped into firm, dusty tannins. Drink it over the next four years.

Hahn 2003 Syrah (Central Coast)
-
$14
Shows its cool-climate origins in the peppery, meaty aroma that erupts from the glass, but once you sip, it’s super-fruity, almost jammy in black currants, cherries, chocolate, you get the idea. But it’s nice and dry, and smooth in ripe tannins.
