Among the Chardonnays, there is no doubting the value to be found in the 1993 Hawk Crest Chardonnay, a blend of grapes purchased from Mendocino and Sonoma. Fruity, ripe, and medium-bodied, this tasty Chardonnay is ideal for drinking over the next year. This winery enjoys a much deserved fine reputation for its bevy of complex, elegant, authoritatively flavorful red wines, particularly the Fay Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon and the Cask 23 Proprietary Red Wine, the latter one of California's benchmark wines. The white wine program has been less impressive, although progress is evident with each new vintage. Tel. (707) 944-2020; Fax (707) 257-7501.
