Hawk Crest 1998 Vineyard Selection Chardonnay (California)
- $15
The rich, buttery aromas lead to a fairly full range of fruit flavors: pear, melon, apple and lemon. It’s a little more over the top than it should be, but still manages to offer plenty of buttery warmth brought forward by moderate oak.

Hawk Crest 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (California)
- Best Buy
- $13
A great value in a Cabernet Sauvignon with real varietal character and complexity. Dry and tannic, it’s rich in classic blackberry, black cherry and oak flavors that finish long and spicy. Made primarily from Red Hills Lake County fruit, with contributions from Paso Robles and Napa Valley.

Hawk Crest 2005 Merlot (California)
- $14
The consumer benefits from this mainly Paso Robles-grown wine being held back for four-plus years. Made from 100% Merlot, with some fruit from Red Hills Lake County, it’s dry, silky and complex, with cherry, cola, currant and cinnamon spice flavors. Feels lightly fancy and elegant. Great value.

Hawk Crest 1997 Merlot (California)
- Best Buy
- $12
Rich and fruity, with oaky, earthy scents riding on top of a solid core of black-cherry fruit. Has very pretty fruit flavors; ripe and spicy, and enough body to drink with ample fare—barbecue, salmon, grilled meat. Shows just a touch of overripeness. Best Buy.

Hawk Crest 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon (California)
- $12
Has all the correct characteristics of fine Cabernet Sauvignon, from the currant, cedar and green-olive aromas to the dry, fruity flavors. It’s a bit rough, as befits an everyday wine. Still, it’s got some very nice features.

Hawk Crest 2007 Chardonnay (Monterey County)
- $12
An easy-drinking, tasty Chardonnay at a pretty good price. Shows Central Coast acidity and bright flavors of limes, pineapples and pears, with a touch of sweet oak.

Hawk Crest 2001 Merlot (California)
- $14
You get a lot for your bucks with this dry, full-bodied red wine. It has pleasant flavors of plums, cherries and herbs, with rich, supportive tannins and a fruity, oaky finish.

Hawk Crest 1997 Reserve Vineyard Selection Chardonnay (California)
- $14
The second label of Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars, produced from Monterey and Napa grapes. Tasty with fairly ripe fruit and lively acidity. Not especially oaky or complex, but gets the job done.
