2014 Hoopes Vineyards Liparita Cabernet Sauvignon Yountville

Showing deep garnet in the glass and with heady aromas of strawberry, raspberry and ripe plum. The nose is balanced nicely with ripe characters of blackberry jelly, honey, caramel and creamy milk chocolate. Lively and focused in the mouth, with juicy ripe red fruit and lush, well integrated tannins. Sweet cigar box and sappy bayberry offer a warm rich counterpoint and bring balance to the palate of expressive fruit. This is a layered and refined expression of our Liparita Cabernet, still powerful, but with an active mid-palate and spacious freshness on the finish.
