The Austin Hope Cabernet Sauvignon is a remarkable expression of the unique terroir found in Paso Robles. Sourced from carefully selected vineyards across the Paso Robles AVA, this wine showcases the region's character, particularly from the ancient flood plains and sea beds east of the Salinas River.
Notably, the region is celebrated for its calcareous and limestone soils, which play a pivotal role in the wine's quality. A blend of broken-down calcareous stones, disintegrated bedrock, and gravel, combined with loamy soils, creates an environment where exceptional wines can flourish.

It is rich and powerful, balanced by a touch of bright acidity and polished tannins.
Food Pairing
