A Chance Encounter Leads to Star SB
The Hoopes family sold Cabernet grapes from their Oakville farm to a major producer from 1983 until 1999, when they made their first estate-bottled wine. Twenty-three years later, they remain something of an undiscovered secret—but not for our members. Their wines are some of our quickest sell-outs every time we offer them, and the customer ratings repeatedly illustrate why.
This 2019 Sauvignon Blanc is the product of a chance encounter between the Hoopes and Antinori families in Tuscany. The two clans hit it off, and the Italian legends offered to sell Hoopes a few grapes from their coveted Antica vineyard in Atlas Peak.
The site sits at high elevation, above the fog line, which means cooler daytime temperatures and slow ripening that’s ideal for Sauvignon Blanc. The grape also loves the vineyard’s volcanic soils, and the combination results in beautiful aromas of nectarines, ripe Meyer lemons, and delicate floral notes, all rounded out with a creamy mouthfeel that’s enhanced through fermentation and aging in two-thirds French oak barrels.
A female-led winery, 100% family-owned and operated. Farmers in the Napa Valley for 50 years, committed to organic, regenerative farming and animal-rescue causes. There are so many reasons to love Hoopes Vineyard—but ultimately, the biggest reason is how much outrageous value they deliver in every bottle.
