Jeremy shakes off a massive hangover to join Beatrice and Jake Hawkes, and Juan as they head out to Chalk Hill Road to check in on how premium wine grapes are ripening in Alexander Valley. We discusss brix, different soils, exposures, and other matters of terroir. Things get complicated when Beatrice starts harvesting Merlot grapes a month or so too early.
Sourced from: Hawkes Wine – Extraordinary Wines from Sonoma County, California
Our family has been growing grapes in the Alexander Valley for more than 30 years. Today we own and farm three vineyards, all planted on sparsely soiled hillsides, and all yielding small amounts of highly intense fruit. When we launched the Hawkes label, we aimed to translate our extraordinary standards for the quality of our grapes into extraordinary wines.
