Treana Red 2019
Central Coast, California, United StatesThe Spanish trio of natural elements inspires Treana: the sun, soil, and sea, and it is the flagship red blend at Hope Family Wines. You often hear Americans refer to it as a cabernet sauvignon. In fact, the blend is 75/25 cabernet sauvignon/syrah. Not that it was ever an Australian cab shiraz style, Winemaker Austin Hope says it was always a cab syrah and, in his mind, a perfect pairing in Paso Robles. The Paso Robles AVA is awash in sunshine and warmth. Still, the nearness to the Pacific Ocean is responsible for the large diurnal temperature swings from day to night and the lift of acidity in the wine. Look for rich fruit with intense cassis, and blackberry streaked with spice and a cut of red fruit that keeps it balanced and fresh. The tannins are dense but sweet and soft, leaving a perfect textural finish. Drink or hold another five to seven years until it is fully mature.Tasted: 10 November 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $49.99 | 750ml | private wine stores |
