Why can't the other Hoopes wine's be anything like this. The oak is present but doesn't dominate. Very rich blackberry/raspberry, chocolate, dusty, tobacco. Rich tannin structure and balancing acids make this quite delicious

Delicious Cab from the awesome 2013 vintage, a beautiful example of what Oakville terroir can produce in expert hands. Soft, feminine, elegant, notes of dark cherry, raspberry and cocoa powder with lingering tannins. Worth jumping through hoops for! ;)

Deep Ruby with elegant aromas of black and blue fruits. On the palate flavors of black currants and blackberries with complex spice, cedar, leather and earthy notes. Fine grain tannins with toasty oak, cacao and leather on the long finish. Tasting well!

Delicious and flavorful Napa cab with a surprisingly soft mouthfeel. Iā€™m picking up notes of savory olive and eucalyptus on the nose, tasting even a bit of dried blueberry.

10++++ Full-bodied but oh so smooth from the first taste. The smell is amazing. Hints of vanilla perhaps? Beautiful dark red on color
Pairs well with lamb.
