Austin Paso Robles Cabernet NV
| Description: | Paso Robles\r\nWinemaker Notes\r\n\r\n\r\nTrue to Paso Robles\u2019 signature style, this fruit-forward Cabernet Sauvignon has enticing aromas of dark fruit, fresh vanilla bean, and hints of coffee. On the palette, the dark brooding fruit flavors are balanced with savory notes of black pepper, baking spices along with a touch of tobacco to add warmth and dimension. Lovely notes of sweet oak, lively acidity & fine dusty tannins complete this wine making it the perfect Cabernet Sauvignon to enjoy daily.\r\nAbout Austin Hope\r\nIn 1978, a family of four arrived in Paso Robles to start a new life. At the time, fewer than a thousand acres of grapes had been planted in the region. Chuck Hope left his job in beverage distribution to become a farmer, settling his family, planting apples and grapes, and learning how to farm in Paso. In time, the Hope family became one of the area\u2019s top grape growers.\r\nAustin Hope grew up working alongside his father, inheriting his love and respect for the region. He led the family\u2019s move into winemaking in 1995, and further exploration of Paso began. In 2000, Austin created the Austin Hope label, making very small productions of Rh\u00f4ne varietals. These wines are produced from vines grown at the family\u2019s estate property, where soils and climate have similarities with Rh\u00f4ne Valley vineyards. They remain small yet extraordinary productions. Each bottling holds onto a unique intensity and softness, expressing a special side of Paso.\r\nPaso Robles is one of California\u2019s most pastoral domains. Its name roughly translates to \u201cPassageway of Oak,\u201d and indeed, majestic trees mark the landscape. Amongst the rolling hills and native habitat lie manicured vineyards where ideal soil exists for farming Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon. Dry, warm conditions are typical, yet evenings are chilled by a breeze from the Pacific coast just 18 miles to the west, allowing fruit to ripen into luxurious richness. At nearly 1,000 feet, soils are elevated sea beds where shell fossils are often found.\r\nThe Hope family has been farming in Paso Robles for more than 30 years. When they arrived in this barely-discovered region, they planted apples and grapes. Little did they know that the rolling, oak-studded terrain of Paso Robles would one day become a viticultural terroir of significance and one of the top winegrowing regions for quality red wine within the Central Coast. |
