Austin Hope Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 1L Overview

Austin Hope started his wine label in 2000. He grew up on his family’s ranch in Paso Robles. His father Chuck planted the estate back in 1978. That’s over 45 years of farming the same land. Austin knows these vineyards better than anyone.

Paso Robles sits on California’s Central Coast. It’s not Napa Valley. But the wines are just as serious — and the prices have historically been kinder. Big temperature swings between day and night preserve freshness in the grapes. The result is Cabernet with both richness and structure.

Austin Hope has become one of the region’s most recognised names. Wine Enthusiast named the estate its American Winery of the Year. Critics consistently score the wines in the 90s. The 2023 Cabernet is one of the strongest releases yet.

This bottle is a 1-liter format. That’s 33% more wine than a standard 750ml. The Casedrops price already beats every competitor on the market. The extra volume makes it even better value.

Tasting Notes

We tasted this one and it delivers. Deep ruby in the glass, with fresh black cherry, dark fruit, smoke, and vanilla on the nose. On the palate, ripe dark fruit comes first, then roasted coffee and baking spice follow through. The texture is smooth and full-bodied, but there’s still a fresh crispness and a long, satisfying finish. Aged 15 months in oak, it’s a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon with Syrah and Merlot. Crowd-pleasing without being simple.

Food Pairing

This is a big wine and it needs food to match. We’d go straight for a grilled ribeye — the dark fruit and coffee notes cut right through the fat. Braised short ribs are just as good. If you want something simpler, aged cheddar works every time. Lamb chops or a mushroom pasta are worth trying too. The earthy notes in the wine pick up the umami in both dishes. Get the weight right and this wine shines.
