A Californian winery with a focus on creating drinkable wines from a region which has become, in their words, a little ‘stuffy’.
Hoopes Vineyard is located in the southernmost part of the Oakville sub-appellation in Napa Valley. The vineyard sits firmly in the flood zone of the Napa River, creating diverse and fertile alluvial soils despite the small ten-acre size. The vineyard produces some of the best Cabernet Sauvignon in the valley. The fruit is farmed and picked by hand and the wine is barrel aged in 100% French oak (45% new) for 21 Months.
Heady aromatics of leather and tobacco, fennel and earthy cocoa entice you into the glass. A deep and generous wine wine with dark, stone fruit compote flavours and warm vanilla.
