Cocoa and earthy oak over blackberry and a touch of pepper. Bold and big, it’s good with some hearty pasta.

Oak is a little harsh for me but it’s still very tasty. Blackberry and leather with a hint of pepper and graphite.

The 2018 hooker creek has strong notes of plum and subtle cardamom. Medium-high in tannins, it’s great to drink now or cellar for a few years.
