The Hoffman Lane estate vineyard is planted on the Western benchland of Napa Valley in excessively drained, Cortina-loam soil, this small vineyard benefits from cool mornings and warm afternoons. This vineyard is planted on the Elyse Winery property and has been the backbone of our brands for 20 years. Wine from this vineyard has been proven to last 20 years+.
Our 2014 Hoffman Lane Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is inky dark in color and has an alluring nose of cassis, blackberries, cinnamon, almonds, and mint. The palate of this full-bodied Cabernet is bold and complete and reveals warm black fruit flavors with accents of espresso and chocolate. The finish is long, seductive, and complex. Enjoy this wine with lamb, venison, beef, and pungent cheeses. Although it is very tempting to drink this wine now, another 5-12 years of patience will truly be rewarded.
