Who Makes Austin Hope Cabernet Sauvignon?
Austin Hope started his wine label in 2000. His father Chuck planted the family estate in 1978. That is over 45 years of farming the same land in Paso Robles, California.
Paso Robles is on California’s Central Coast, halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles. The wines are serious. The prices are not Napa prices. Days are warm and nights are cool — that keeps the grapes fresh and gives the Cabernet both richness and structure.
Wine Enthusiast named Hope Family Wines its American Winery of the Year. The Austin Hope Cabernet has made the magazine’s Top 10 Wines of the Year list twice. There are three bottles in the lineup — the everyday AUSTIN, the flagship Cabernet, and the barrel-select Reserve. At Casedrops, all three are 30% below what other retailers charge.

Deep ruby. Black cherry, dark fruit, smoke, and vanilla on the nose. The palate is rich and full-bodied — dark fruit first, then coffee and baking spice. Fresh acidity keeps it balanced. Long finish. Aged 15 months in oak, blended with Syrah and Merlot. Pair with ribeye, short ribs, or aged cheddar.

Austin Hope Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
The Reserve is the most serious wine in the Austin Hope lineup. Made from a special barrel selection that goes back into 100% new French oak for extended aging, it is a limited-production bottling built for the long haul — and one of the most decorated Paso Robles Cabs on the market.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, a dark, inky crimson hue is evident. The aroma is intense, featuring blue fruits, black plum, tobacco leaves, toasted oak, and espresso. The palate reveals a full-bodied richness, showcasing blackberry, anise, and coffee cream interlaced with refined tannins. The finish is prolonged and intricate, with warm notes of French oak transitioning into dark chocolate.

AUSTIN Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon
The entry point into Hope Family Wines’ world. The AUSTIN label was built for everyday drinking — but do not mistake accessibility for mediocrity. This is a properly made, fruit-forward Paso Robles Cab at a price that makes it genuinely hard to find a reason not to keep a case on hand.
Tasting Notes
Dark red with aromas of black cherry, fresh vanilla bean, and a hint of coffee. The palate is fruit-forward and easy — dark fruit balanced with black pepper, baking spice, and a touch of tobacco. Lively acidity and fine dusty tannins keep it clean and fresh. Pair with burgers, pasta, pizza, or a simple charcuterie board.
