Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo County, Central Coast, California, United StatesThe Treana Cabernet Sauvignon was created to celebrate those who influenced winemaker Austin Hope: his father Chuck Hope, his uncle Paul, and Napa Valley winemaker Chuck Wagner. The 2018 blends in a splash of petite sirah, merlot, and petit verdot into the blend. Sweet, ripe, and overtly rich, with candied blackberries, blueberry compote, candied black plums on a sluggish, full-bodied palate, framed with toasted oak and pipe tobacco. Tannins are chewy, hugging the soft, cushy palate to a baking spiced finish. Drink now, with roast beef, as expected.Tasted: 06 April 2021Tasted by: Prices:

Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo County, Central Coast, California, United StatesThis wine pays homage to three of Austin Hope's mentors: his father, his uncle, and winemaker Chuck Wagner. No doubt one of the lessons he learned was how to produce wines that sell, and he's done an impressive job of that at Hope Family Wines. The winemaking mantra has been go big and go bold, and that's certainly the case here. There's stewed black and blue fruits with no shortage of smoky oak. It's noticeably sweet (8 g/L residual sugar), which gives this added richness and an easy drinking plushness. Made to enjoy on its own as much as with a plate of saucy BBQ ribs.Tasted: 12 April 2021Tasted by: Prices:

Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo County, Central Coast, California, United StatesCabernet Sauvignon has played a significant role in the Hope Family viticultural history. The Treana cab is an ode to some of the people who influenced winemaker Austin Hope: his father Chuck Hope, his uncle Paul, and Napa Valley winemaker Chuck Wagner. The mix is 93 percent cabernet sauvignon, four percent petite sirah and three percent merlot, and petit verdot. Much like the Austin Hope Cabernet, the wine is dark, nearly opaque, with rich, ripe aromas of black currants and blackberry jam, but on the palate, the Treana is more elegance the belies its alcohol and power. I love the tobacco, clove, and cinnamon-spiked black fruit with well managed, softish tannins, and a wisp of smoke. Impressive. Drink or hold through 2025.Tasted: 24 January 2020Tasted by: Prices:
