WHO DOESN’T LIKE A GREAT CABERNET SAUVIGNON FOR UNDER $20?  

Easy one here if you are looking for a solid bottle of red wine, more specifically a cabernet sauvignon, this 2016 Smith & Hook Cabernet Sauvignon is the “HOT TIP!”  Over the past five years, Smith & Hook(by Hahn) has been our go-to, must purchase, cabernet at Carpe Vino for under 20 BUCKS!

Over 35+ years, the Hahn family has been a major driving force behind Central Coast’s wine industry.  In fact, at the time of purchasing their property (circa 1980) their land was the first estate to grow Cabernet Sauvignon in Monterey County.  Today, they have grown an empire of labels including; Hahn, Hahn SLH, Lucienne and Smith & Hook.

***We also have a solid deal on the 90 Point Wine Spectator Rated 2016 Hahn SLH Pinot Noir.  CLICK HERE TO VIEW***

There are three specific Central Coast appellations, “Arroyo Seco for structure and backbone; San Antonio Valley for rich plum and currant flavors; Hames Valley for dark skin color and intense blackberry and spice aromas; and Paso Robles for black cherry notes and seductively round and supple tannins. The result is a spirited, layered and luscious Cabernet Sauvignon.

This wine has Fragrant aromas of plum and black cherry find perfect balance with hints of vanilla, cola, cloves and cocoa dust. Right on the heels of all that aromatic intensity are interwoven layers of blackberry, boysenberry, black currant, dark plums and mocha. This wine is full bodied with supple tannins and a long, generous finish.”

“Wine Enthusiast” 90 PTS: “Always one of the more compelling bottlings for the price each year, this vintage shows deep plum, black cherry and vanilla on the welcoming nose. The mouthfeel is impressively thick and the firm texture quite gravelly, carrying flavors of black fruit, roast beef and black pepper.”  — Editors’ Choice–
