Sitting dense and visually pretty in the glass, fresh aromas of plum, prune, bay, dried flowers, and aromatic hints of clove and cardamom sit above a muscular core of cedar, leather, and earth. A sweet and supple entry upon first sip depends to a rich, full palate of quality tannins and dense and concentrated fruit. The wine finishes with cocoa and espresso notes, biscuit and dark chocolate.
Try this with beef short ribs or a big juicy grilled Portabello mushroom (or two) with butter and garlic.
This 2015 magnum of Californian Cabernet Sauvignon offers deep, robust flavors and a smooth finish, thanks to the larger bottle which ages the wine beautifully. It’s ideal for a memorable steak dinner or a celebration with friends.
Hoopes Vineyard is a small, family-owned winegrower and producer with deep roots in Napa Valley. First vineyard was planted in 1981 and first vintage was in 1984. The first vintage under Hoopes Vineyard was 1999.
The estate is now run by second-generation proprietor, Lindsay Hoopes. Raised on the farm by her wine-loving family, Lindsay learned how to cultivate grapes and promote Napa’s sense of place and terroir through her father, Spencer Hoopes. Spencer Hoopes loved farming, and developed a passion for wine as the wine industry in Napa blossomed right around him.
