Hoopes Vineyard
Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon
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

Oct 1st, 2017Delicious 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! ;)

Apr 27th, 2017Delicious and flavorful Napa cab with a surprisingly soft mouthfeel. Iām picking up notes of savory olive and eucalyptus on the nose, tasting even a bit of dried blueberry.

Pairs well with lamb.
