Established in the early 1980s, Smith & Hook has long stood for spirited, layered and luscious wines made from Californias independent-minded Central Coast. Aged in oak barrels, these wines are rich, robust, and full bodied with layers of ripe black fruit, toasty spice and integrated tannins. This wine opens in the glass with aromas of Blackberry with cocoa powder and nutmeg. The mouthfeel is rich and luscious with a decadent finish and notes of rich blackberry and dark cherry compote. Pair this red wine with short ribs, grilled lamb or dark chocolate tart.
