We’re thrilled to introduce the newest addition to our Open Outcry collection, 2024 Pit of Chaos Chenin Blanc!

As just the second release under Hawks Hill Ranch’s Open Outcry label, Pit of Chaos represents our passion for crafting boundary breaking wines sourced beyond our estate from exceptional vineyards that deserve to be celebrated.

When highly coveted fruit from Bailey Ranch Vineyard, home to some of San Luis Obispo County’s oldest Chenin Blanc vines, became available, we knew the opportunity was too special to pass by.

The name Pit of Chaos pays homage to the legendary trading floor of the Chicago Board of Trade where our founder, Kit Kuyper, built his career. It is a nod to recognizing opportunity, embracing calculated risk, and trusting conviction when the right moment arrives.

Hand harvested and aged for 14 months in neutral French oak, this inaugural Chenin Blanc showcases vibrant orchard fruit, brilliant acidity, and the finesse that has made this remarkable variety a favorite among those in the know.

The market is open!

We are honored to share the latest reviews from Vinous and critic Eric Guido for our 2023 releases from the Adelaida District.

Beyond the scores, what moved us most were the words written about the soul of these wines and the place they come from:

“The Hawks Hill Ranch wines are decidedly a Don Burns creation, powerful, complex and brooding but with a graceful lift from the Adelaida District’s high elevations and cooling Pacific air currents.”

These wines are a reflection of rugged hillsides, extreme elevations, coastal influence and the relentless pursuit to express this land honestly. Crafted alongside winemaker Don Burns, each bottling carries the tension and beauty of our ranch site.

2023 Limit Up | 95 Points
2023 Syrah Dark Pool | 94 Points
2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Fat Finger | 94 Points
2023 Grenache Standard Deviation | 93 Points
2023 Liquidity | 92 Points

Eric Guido closed his review by calling Hawks Hill Ranch “a project to watch closely” and noted that the wines “overdeliver on relative value.”

We are proud to share these wines with you and honored to continue building something truly distinctive from this place we call home.
