675 Austin Hope Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
This cab is dark garnet in color with aromas of freshly picked blueberries, ripe
black cherries with subtle notes of roasted coffee, cocoa and dried spices. On
the palate, the luscious supple tannins are powerful yet modern in style with
layered flavors of juicy blackberry and red fruit, while nuances of black pepper,
clove and vanilla bean round out the long smooth finish. It's full-bodied and
rich, balanced by fresh acidity and firm, polished tannins.
