Wine Review: This pitch black colored Cabernet Sauvignon from Austin Hope is Excellent! It opens with an attractive black cherry and black currant bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, extremely well balanced and super smooth. The flavor profile is a delicious concentrated blueberry with notes of cherry-vanilla. I also detected hints of mild minerality, mild chocolate and gentle oak. The finish is dry and its refined tannins drift away nicely. I loved this Cab! It’s a blueberry lover’s dream! I would pair it with a filet mignon. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Deep ruby in color, the 2015 Austin Hope Cabernet Sauvignon expresses aromas of freshly picked black currants, ripe black cherries and blackberries, with subtle notes of violets, mocha and dried spices. On the palate, it's a big, powerful, modern-styled wine layered with heaps of juicy blackberry and cherry fruit, while nuances of cedar, clove, nutmeg and vanilla bean round out the long smooth finish. It’s full-bodied and rich, balanced by fresh acidity and firm, polished tannins.
