Austin Hope Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo County, Central Coast, California, United StatesCabernet sauvignon has been an extended part of the Hope Family viticultural history, and no one has embraced the potential of Paso Robles more than Austin Hope, the winemaker and architect of this big cabernet. We tasted this wine over six months ago and suggested it was not for the timid. This time out, it remains equally as youthful and rambunctious from its intense black currants, blackberry fruit flecked with brown sugar, clove and pepper highlights. The finish is long, warm, and extensive, offering soft, smoky vanilla notes. It is still a baby and will keep a decade before it begins to approach its peak.Tasted: 24 January 2020Tasted by: Prices:
