The Story

Hawk and Horse Vineyards was really the dream of owner David Boies. His love of wine and of California's North Coast wine growing region drove him to seek out a unique property that would support a vineyard of world-class distinction. In 1982, after exhaustive searching, he purchased what was then known as the historic El Roble Grande Ranch in Lower Lake, California. At that time, El Roble Grande was a rather run-down abandoned horse breeding facility situated on 900 acres of wilderness.

From the winery
Situated at elevations of between 1,800 to 2,200 feet, our mountain vineyard is composed of red rocky volcanic soils studded with “Lake County Diamonds." Fed by on-site spring water and some of the cleanest air in the nation, the microclimate of Hawk and Horse Vineyards possesses natural growing conditions perfectly suited to producing Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux varietals of distinction.
