Product Overview
Winery's Notes:
"Dark ruby in color, the 2021 Austin Hope Cabernet Sauvignon expresses aromas of freshly picked black currants, ripe and blackberries, with subtle notes of violets, mocha and dried spices. On the palate, it’s a luscious modern-styled wine layered with an abundance of juicy olallieberry and cherry fruit, while nuances of cedar, clove, nutmeg and vanilla bean round out the long smooth fi nish. Full-bodied and rich, balanced by fresh acidity and integrated, polished tannins."
Appellation: Paso Robles AVA
Aging: 11 months in French oak (10% new) prior to lot blending, then 2 additional months in French oak (75% new) after blending

"There's a significant spice of oak that comes through on the nose of this bottling, with solid blackberry fruit as well. The palate combines black cherry and blackberry syrup with root beer spices, as the finish lingers atop tannins amid vanilla, nutmeg and oak spices." -MK, 5/1/24
