2004 Hahn Estates Cabernet Franc
A classic, American Cab Franc, I like to call it plummy and yummy. Fruit flavors include not only plums but a mix of cherries and berries. To round the flavor out there's a hint of dark chocolate and dusty tannin. $

2004 Hahn Estates Meritage
Surprisingly complex for the price, Hahn's meritage is built on a base of fruit-forward Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon with just a smidge of Petit Verdot, Malbec and Cab Franc. Cedar, bramble and cherry dominate the aromas. Flavors are an interesting blend of black cherries, blackberries and Middle Eastern spices. $$

2004 Hahn Estates Monterey Chardonnay
Although it offers a little more oak flavor than is to my taste, the toasty aromas do not overshadow the wine's sweet, juicy stone fruit flavors, a medley of apricots and peaches both yellow and white. $

2004 Hahn Estates Monterey Pinot Noir
A good backbone of fine tannins and bright acid lend structure to this affordable Pinot. Flavors are classic: red cherry and cola with just a hint of vanilla. $$

2004 Hahn Estates Syrah
A great, solid Syrah, it can easily compete with all the Aussie Shiraz that dominate the international marketplace. Peppery, leathery and jammy with juicy berry flavor - what more could you want? $
