Hawks Hill Ranch Winery

We are honored to share the latest reviews from Vinous and critic Eric Guido for our 2023 releases from the Adelaida District.

Beyond the scores, what moved us most were the words written about the soul of these wines and the place they come from:

“The Hawks Hill Ranch wines are decidedly a Don Burns creation, powerful, complex and brooding but with a graceful lift from the Adelaida District’s high elevations and cooling Pacific air currents.”

These wines are a reflection of rugged hillsides, extreme elevations, coastal influence and the relentless pursuit to express this land honestly. Crafted alongside winemaker Don Burns, each bottling carries the tension and beauty of our ranch site.

2023 Limit Up | 95 Points
2023 Syrah Dark Pool | 94 Points
2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Fat Finger | 94 Points

Eric Guido closed his review by calling Hawks Hill Ranch “a project to watch closely” and noted that the wines “overdeliver on relative value.”

We are proud to share these wines with you and honored to continue building something truly distinctive from this place we call home.
