Treana 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon has long been part of the Hope family’s viticultural history. Growing up in his family’s vineyards, Austin Hope has spent much of his life around the fabled varietal. Three important individuals would help mentor his character; Austin’s father Chuck Hope and his uncle Paul paved the way for his future success, instilling in him life lessons of perseverance and determination, while winemaker Chuck Wagner taught him the nuances of crafting world-class Cabernet Sauvignon. As a TRIBUTE to the three men who helped influence his path, Austin Hope created Treana Cabernet Sauvignon – a wine that encapsulates the quintessential learnings over the course of his career.

91 POINTS - "Extremely rich, deep and extracted on the nose, this bottling by Austin Hope is loaded with vanilla, cassis, caramel and Bourbon aromas. It's rich, lush and soft on the palate, offering vanilla, sea-salt caramel and coffee flavors set against a black cherry core." - Wine Enthusiast

91 POINTS - "This opaque and very dark ruby colored Cabernet Sauvignon opens with a fragrant black cherry and vanilla oak bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, balanced and very smooth. The flavor profile is a tasty mineral infused black currant with notes of cherry-vanilla and oak. The finish is dry and its moderate tannins and flavors show nice length. " - KWGTP

Opaque, deeply colored purple black. Bold, muddled blackberry, ripe black currants, blueberry syrup, crushed violets, roasted coffee, sweet vanilla, caramel, and clove aromas. Rich and palate coating, the intense black fruit flavors are marked by a distinctive toasted/smoky-oak. The tannins are moderate and velvety, and the acidity balances the richness of the wine, leading to a long oak-driven finish.
