Open: Year RoundÂ
It was in the mid-1970's and on two neighboring ranches-turned-vineyards in Monterey County that Nicolaus ("Nicky") Hahn and his wife Gaby first established Hahn Winery and Smith & Hook wines. Â The Smith Ranch had been horse ranch, while the Hook Ranch had raised cattle for generations; their prime location provided a perfect setting for growing premium varietal fruit. Smith & Hook Winery released its first vintage of Cabernet Sauvignon to high acclaim in 1980.
Today Smith & Hook continues to produce its signature varietal-Cabernet Sauvignon. The bottle, with its 'ranch brand' emblazoned directly onto the bottles, reflects the heritage of Smith & Hook wines and the Hahn winery. Hand-crafted by winemaker Paul Clifton, the wine echoes the pioneering spirit of the Hahn Family and their commitment to Monterey winegrowing.
