Product notes
IT IS WITH GREAT PRIDE AND EXCITEMENT THAT WE HAVE CRAFTED OUR FOURTH RELEASE OF THE AUSTIN HOPE RESERVE CABERNET SAUVIGNON. THROUGH OUR EXTENDED BARREL AGEING PROCESS, THIS WINE HAS DEVELOPED UNPRECEDENTED STRUCTURE AND CHARACTER
Production notes
The making of Austin Hope Reserve Cabernet begins with small lot fermentations separated by individual vineyard blocks which receive daily pump-overs for maximum extraction. These lots are constantly supervised, tasted & analyzed for tannin and anthocyanins in order to determine optimal length of extended maceration after fermentation. Once drained and pressed, the young wines are barreled down into a combination of 25% once used and 75% neutral French Oak.
Tasting notes
This Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon has quickly become our most sought-after wine. It displays an abundance of fresh baked blueberry pie aromas and rich notes of cracked black pepper. On the palate, flavors evolve with fruit forward notes, vanilla bean, cacao and a hint of dried tobacco leaf. The wine finishes with integrated tannins that are soft and supple, accentuating the power and depth of this full bodied Cabernet Sauvignon.
