The 2007 Pinot Noir Hawks View Vineyard is light to medium ruby in color with a brickish rim. Mineral and earth notes dominate the bouquet leading to a firm wine with a good core of fruit, savory flavors, and a touch of sweetness. This medium-long wine should be drunk over the next 5 years. Hawks View Cellars is owned and operated by the John A. Kemp family. They purchased 125 acres from Benziger, 50 of which was planted beginning in 1991 with more added in 1997-1998. All but three acres are Pinot Noir. Current production is 1,500 cases, with plans to max out at 5,000 cases.Tel. (503) 625-1591; www.hawksviewcellars.com
