About the product
Austin Hope Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 is a rich, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon that showcases the distinctive character of Paso Robles. The 2023 growing season was cooler and wetter than recent years, followed by a warm, consistent autumn that allowed the grapes to reach full maturity. The wine displays a deep ruby color and an expressive profile of black currant, ripe cherry and blackberry, complemented by violet, mocha and dried spice aromas. On the palate, layers of juicy dark fruit are balanced by cedar, clove, nutmeg and vanilla bean. Fresh acidity and polished tannins provide structure, leading to a long, smooth finish.
