Malbec

Three C’s
2023

Cellar Select

The inaugural vintage of Austin Hope’s Three C’s Blend (Carignan, Cinsaut and Counoise) is a vibrant, medium-bodied red wine. We traveled to the most southern boundary of the Santa Ynez Valley (Happy Canyon AVA) to two special vineyards planted with high quality in mind. Aromas of tart cherry and wild sage lead into a lively palate brimming with strawberry and subtle spice, all grounded by a hint of orange peel and cocoa. Fresh acidity and fine tannins make this expressive blend both food-friendly and effortlessly drinkable. When to enjoy:  now through 2033!

Both of these varietals are sourced from the Paso Robles Highlands district. The Petite Sirah vineyard is located along a sandy riverbed with low intervention farming resulting in intense color and structure. The Lagrein is grown on a well-known vineyard that is one of the very few vineyards to plant Lagrein in California. At elevations of 1600’ with cooling afternoon breezes. Rich yet balanced, it finishes long with lingering notes of dark fruit and spice. When to enjoy: now through 2035.

Graciano
2023

Cellar Select

We source this Graciano from a high elevation vineyard in the Paso Robles Highlands district where soils are thin and full of ancient seabed matter, allowing the vines to self-regulate with vigor and fruit ratios. The 2023 Graciano displays a dark purple hue. Violet and black plum aromas mingle with hints of vanilla. Lucious flavors of Bing cherry, blackberry and cinnamon are met by soft supple tannins that linger beautifully. When to enjoy:  now through 2037!
