WINE DESCRIPTION
Austin Hope Grenache is a red wine produced by Austin Hope in Paso Robles, California. This wine is made from Grenache grapes grown in the Templeton Gap area where cool breezes from the Pacific cool the grapes resulting in long, slow ripening that results in nuanced flavors. Winemaking involves the use of old and new French oak barrels to add complex vanilla notes without detracting from the bold flavors of strawberry and cherry fruit.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Austin Hope Grenache is powerful, with a full body and velvety tannins.The nose shows baked ripe cherry fruit with complex notes of white pepper and dried herbs on the long finish. Serve this with rich poultry dishes like goose or turkey. Drink how while the fruit is at its most vibrant but you can keep this for up to 5 years.

ORIGINS
Winery: Austin Hope
Region: Central Coast California
The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States.
The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.CUSTOMER RATING
