Hoopes - Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon - 2014

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.
