Hawk's Prey
Rich &
Pronounced
Diamond Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon
The perfect union of site, clone, and winemaking skill.
High-toned Cabernet from ancient volcanic soils at ~1,100 feet on Napa Valley's Diamond Mountain.
As we planted the vineyard on a blistering July day, hawks circled overhead. They remained all week, offering inspiration for Hawk’s Prey, a name that captures the site’s fierce energy and watchful grace.
Perched at 1,100 feet on Diamond Mountain’s ancient volcanic rock, this two-acre block ripens early and clean. It’s planted to the Jenkins Clone—a storied clonal selection in Napa Valley whose lineage traces to Château Lafite Rothschild in Bordeaux.
Red Fruit. Crushed Brick. Volcanic Lift.
Farmed row by row and picked by taste across Diamond Mountain, each small lot is fermented and aged on its own, then blended with a light hand so the site, not the stamp, leads. The result is a Napa Valley mountain Cabernet Sauvignon that’s both energetic and finely etched: red-fruited, mineral, and unmistakably Diamond Mountain.
In the glass: bright red currant and cherry, pomegranate, crushed red rock/brick, and graphite. Fine, high-toned tannins and natural acidity keep the finish long and vivid. Hawk’s Prey Diamond Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon deepens beautifully over 5-10 years, gaining savory detail while keeping its signature lift.
“It became a guest favorite overnight—even people who don’t usually love big reds fall for Hawk’s Prey.”
— Kisha Itkin, Founder & CEO
