Barrel Program: Lots aged separately for minimum 11 months in a combination of 10% new, 25% once used, and 65% two to three times used French Oak. The blend is aged an additional three months in 75% new and 25% once used French Oak.

Tasting Notes: Deep ruby in color, the Austin Hope Cabernet Sauvignon expresses aromas of fresh black currants and cherries accompanied by subtle smoky notes and dried spices. On the palate, this lavish powerful wine is layered with juicy blackberry, ripe cherry, vanilla bean, and brown butter. It is full-bodied and rich, balanced by a touch of bright acidity and firm polished tannins.

“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

This bottling remains as impressive and delicious as it did upon debut two vintages ago. Aromas of black cherry, hickory smoke and vanilla cookie lead into a palate of brown sugar, sea salt, caramel, and black cherry foam, all framed by polished tannins and just enough acidity. – Wine Enthusiast.
