Description
Taste the true soul of Napa Valley with the Hoopes Vineyard Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon. While many regional blends pull fruit widely, this prestigious flagship bottling comes directly from the Hoopes family's prized, historic 10-acre estate vineyard nestled in the absolute heart of the Oakville AVA. Planted back in 1983, this unique site features an ultra-rare combination of four distinct soil types—including valley-floor volcanic soils reminiscent of the legendary To Kalon estate—making it a deeply complex wine that commands respect.
Pouring an inky, deep garnet hue, this classic Oakville Cabernet opens with a deceptively elegant, perfumed nose of lilac, crushed rose petals, and ripe red plums, layered beautifully with dark cassis, graphite, and warm baking spices. On the palate, it shifts into a powerhouse of concentration. A dense, mouthwatering entry of juicy blackberry and blueberry compote is met with exceptional, vibrant acidity and framed by ultra-lush, velvety tannins. It resolves into a massive, persistent finish accented by sophisticated notes of savory black tea, dark chocolate, and subtle tobacco spice.
Meticulously harvested in 14 small batches to guarantee optimal flavor extraction, this small-production boutique luxury wine is ready to be a showstopper at your table tonight or evolve gracefully in your cellar for the next two decades
Red Wine – Tasting Notes: Scents of black currant, cedar chips, mandarin, mint, and lit tobacco sparks fly out of the glass. A strong entry of plum and cocoa encrusted roast are followed by firm and eventful tannins. This is a big wine and would do well with some time to unwind, but it is queued up to be a showstopper. The finish is massive and absolute with dark chocolate covered cherries, stewed plums, and Cuban cigars.
