We source our Austin Hope Cabernet Sauvignon from nine of the eleven districts in the Paso Robles AVA: Each region contributing unique characteristics to the depth of the fi nal wine. The Estrella district known for its loamy and gravely river plain slopes and canyons. Creston, known for its large daily diurnal swings aided by the Templeton Gap maritime breezes that make it to the Creston area by early afternoon each day during the growing season. The high fl ats of the Paso Robles Highlands are near the eastern borders of the AVA, yet receive cooling breezes each day straight from the coast 45 miles away. San Miguel district has large rolling hills and is situated on ancient river plains’ and riverbanks that produce an intriguing blend of soils with both loam, gravel and calcareous deposits.
