Hopes End Cabernet
Two small-lot Hopes End reds, stocked in Commack and ready to pour.
The story behind Hopes End
Hopes End is a value-minded red label, and Cabernet is the grape behind both bottles we stock. Cabernet Sauvignon is a thick-skinned red that gives dark fruit, firm tannin and a dry finish, and it takes oak and spirit barrel aging well. The Red Blend softens that grip with other red grapes for an easier, rounder pour.
We keep just a bottle or two of each at our Commack store, so call ahead to confirm before you drive over.

Which Hopes End is right for you?
Both bottles land in the value range: the Red Blend at $10.99 and the Brandy Barrel Cab at $11.99. That is real Cabernet character for a weekday price, and the brandy barrel bottling gives you something a little different for a few cents more. We stock one or two of each, so availability moves fast.
Soft, round and under eleven dollars for an ordinary Tuesday dinner.
Wants Cabernet with a warm barrel twist without spending much.
