Hoopes Vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 750 ML

At Hoopes Family Vineyard, our hearts pulse through every one of our bottles, and through the land we cultivate, too. Hoopes Family Vineyard is more than just an award-winning –it’s a home for the next generation of wine innovators, a new hotbed of local biodiversity and regenerative agriculture, a safe haven for animals, a hidden destination for Napa travelers, and the source of the best damn wine we’ve ever known.
Our philosophy is simple: we are who we say we are. We are Hoopes. We are authentic. We grow our grapes and we make our own wine. We steward the land because it is our legacy. Our wine tells our family story, and the story of all who help us craft the perfect bottle. Our wine has a sense of place and also a sense of adventure.
Thus, to understand our wine, you have to know who we are. Today the pack is led by second-generation proprietor, Lindsay Hoopes. Lindsay brings new energy into the deeply rooted heritage Hoopes shares with Napa Valley.
Raised on our farm by her wine-loving family, Lindsay Hoopes 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. When Spencer moved his family to Napa, it wasn’t so obvious that Napa would become an internationally-acclaimed wine growing region, or that the twelve-acre plot he purchased in Oakville would evolve to be the epicenter of Napa’s most prominent cabernet sauvignon brands. Be it lucky or smart, Spencer struck winemaker-gold.
Spencer Hoopes grew grapes for other vintners and quickly earned repute for some of the best cabernet sauvignon in the Napa Valley. Spencer’s stewardship of the land was heralded by many. When other vintners asked if they could use the Hoopes name to authenticate the high-calibre of their wine, Spencer concluded that, darn it, he should do it himself.
