Harvester Estrella District Cabernet Sauvignon

Full bodied, lots of fruit and tannins. Very enjoyable wine.

Sharp on the tongue, peppery.

New creation by Austin Hope. I found his PR Cab to be pleasant enough but I think this tastes cheaply made. Asphalt/tar, brooding dark fruits, and baking spices on the nose. On the palate overripe dark fruits and an herbal/vegetal bitterness that lingers, and lingers... We’ll see how it shows in 30-60+ minutes but at this point we’re sitting tight at a 78/100.

Edit: After substantial time to reveal itself, I’ve decided to drop the score even lower to a 70, which is more appropriate for the poor quality of juice. My wife (who is always far less critical of wine than I am) even expressed disgust with it, saying “I can drink most things but I don’t want this, it doesn’t even taste like wine.” I have no reservations about this being a “bad” bottle, per se: it’s not. It’s just a bad product. Unfortunate.

Can’t go wrong with Austin

Meh. Kinda buttery but overall not that memorable.

Estrella district.
Magenta rim, opaque indigo color.

On the nose there's cranberries and an inkling of tannins.

Rich flavors of cocoa and velvety oak blend with dark chocolate and raspberry.

Not a good wine

Not what I expected from Austin Hope

Lovely, very dark, inky and not particularly tannic. Full body, heavy on the tongue an a nice whiff of pepper.

6/19. Nice every day Cab. Good flavor.
