Once a cattle ranch, Hook Vineyard is the farthest south of Hahn’s estate vineyards in the Santa Lucia Highlands. Although further from the influence of the Monterey Bay, it is nonetheless a cool Region 1 site, ranging in elevation from 320 to 1,080 above sea level and featuring morning fog and windy afternoons during most of the growing season. With gently sloping hills and well-drained, alluvial soils, Hook Vineyard is planted entirely to red varieties, including multiple clones of Pinot Noir.
