About Hawley Winery & Vineyards
Hawley Winery sits overlooking Dry Creek Valley near Healdsburg, California. Founded in 1996 by John Hawley, his family has been producing unique wines in typically small lots. Their repertoire includes nine different wines, and more than half are only produced in less than 500 cases. In their eyes, these small batches allow them a greater ability to capture the character of a vineyard, the vintage, and its terroir.

Hawley-Davidson

TASTING NOTES:
“An aromatic bouquet of blackberry and cassis fill the glass. Flavors of red strawberries, boysenberry and vanilla open to a velvety smooth mouthfeel backed by very little tannin and a good structural acidity.“

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
Probably wouldn’t expect there to be Harley-Davidson wines, but, well. There are. I mean, I guess there are Harley-Davidson everythings. It’s one of those brands. But, the winery that makes the wines does them based on different motorcycles, so that’s cool I guess.

DRINK IT FROM/WITH (conventional option):
Standard red glass, paired with braised short ribs, Italian pastas or wood-fired pizzas.

OR (really-going-with-the-theme option):
Gas tank of a Harley.
