Our wines and what varieties we use
From our crisp, refreshing fruit driven whites, to our dry and semi-dry roses, to our big, rich full bodied reds, at Hawk Watch we pride ourselves on being able to offer premium, award winning wines that appeal to every preference and palate. Not only do we grow and maintain our own estate vineyards we also hand select grapes from several additional outstanding local vineyards. Below is a list of the grape varieties we use to create our award winning wines, the local vineyard(s) we use including our own estate vineyard, and a brief description of what each varietal typically displays. This is not a current list of available wines. Please call us at (951) 326-4692 or email us at info@hawkwatchwinery.com for current offerings.
Due to the restrictions placed upon wine imports by each state we are only licensed to ship wine within the state of California. If you want us to be able to ship to your state in the future, please write to your congressman and suggest that the shipping regulations and restrictions in your state be eased or lifted entirely.
