Lindsay Hoopes learned how to cultivate grapes and promote Napa’s sense of place and terroir through her father

tobacco and mint add lovely aromatic top notes to this mid-weight yet rich Cabernet Sauvignon

and acquiring the prestigious Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru vineyards  of Clos Saint Jean

and instead the focus is on fruit

The wine is bottled without filtration

much like an audiophiles derive pleasure from the clicks

precise and fresh

these wines rank with the very best of Provence

The estate represents what used to be common practice everywhere in the Pannonian countryside: a mixed farming operation

inspired by the exceptional vineyard site in the Eola-Amity Hills that Larry bought in 2012
