Austin Hope Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Wine Enthusiast: Designated Editors Choice. "This bottling is dark in the glass and extremely lavish, with silky aromas of cassis, black cherry and caramel. The palate combines blackberry mousse, mocha and more caramel with a firm tannic structure and buoyant acidity." Jul 2019Winery: "Austin Hope Cabernet Sauvignon stems from an endless fascination with the soils and diverse sub-regions of Paso Robles, where exceptional wines are being made. It also tells the story of the Hope familys long history in the region and how their pride and knowledge can be brought to life in a bottle of wine.Deep ruby in color, the 2016 Austin Hope Cabernet Sauvignon expresses intense fragrances of black currants, ripe black cherries and blackberries with subtle notes of violets, mocha and dried spices. Its a big, powerful, modern-styled wine with velvety tannins and heaps of juicy blackberry and cherry fruit, while nuances of cedar, clove and vanilla bean round out the long, smooth finish. Its full bodied, rich and balanced by fresh acidity with a supple, polished tannin structure.""The goal for this Cabernet is simple to make wine that expresses all that Paso has to offer, with its pastoral beauty, perfect soils, maritime climate and limitless possibility." ~ Austin Hope, Owner/WinemakerBottle750ml, corkVarietal100 percentCabernet SauvignonAlcohol15.0 percentAging18 months in 75 percent new French oakRegionPaso Robles, Central Coast, California
