Austin Hope strives to make wine that reflects all that Paso has to offer and to inspire people to be just as excited about the region as he is. Paso Robles Defined. The classic ruby color of the Austin Hope Cabernet is stunning and sets the stage for this robust Cabernet Sauvignon. On the nose, aromas of tobacco, dark chocolate shavings, fresh black currant hints of savory notes. On the palate, layers of vanilla, coco powder, juicy cherry, baking spices and signature tobacco create a full body wine that is balanced by a splash of fresh acid and round, refined tannins. Paso Robles is one of California's most pastoral domains. Its name roughly translates to passageway of oaks, and indeed majestic trees mark the landscape. The goal for this Cabernet is simple - to make wine that expresses all that Paso has to offer, with its pastoral beauty, perfect soils, maritime climate and limitless possibility. - Austin Hope, Owner/Winemaker.
