2018 Hoopes Vineyard Premier Napa Valley Auction Red Wine Napa

Notes for Premier Napa

Each year Premiere Napa Valley presents a wonderful opportunity to create a fantasy wine outside the usual constraints. Your Premiere Napa Valley wine features the first blend between the oldest and newest Hoopes vineyard properties. The Hoopes Home Ranch in Oakville borders Lincoln Creek and was planted in 1983 exclusively to Cabernet Sauvignon. The newest Hoopes vineyard addition in Yountville lies just beyond Hopper Creek and is planted to four of the five classic red varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot. The Oakville component brings classic darker fruits and suede-like tannins framed by the Yountville contribution of juicy Malbec and round Merlot, all punctuated nicely with a spice-like and mouth-watering Petit Verdot finish. The name HH Farms is a nod to the reimagined space at the Yountville property dedicated to providing farm to table produce and a home for rescue livestock and poultry.
