WOW: Bring this "Troublemaker" Home...

WOW: Wine of the Week

Everyone Knows a "Troublemaker," Now Bring One Home!

Hope Family Winery Troublemaker Red
This is one "Troublemaker" that you will want in your house!  From the makers of Treana, Liberty School, Austin Hope, Candor, Hope Family Wines brings us a "Troublemaker" of a Rhone blend.  Rest assured that at just $17.77 this will NOT be a "Troublemaker" to your wallet!

Product Description

A Rhone-inspired blend, Troublemaker is a unique wine made by Austin Hope. Made with Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre and Petite Sirah, it is made with 100% Paso Robles fruit. By using a multi-vintage approach, Austin allows the wine to show uncanny complexity in its youth, yet rich and fruit-forward characteristics. With bright aromatics that evoke thoughts of smoked meat, the wine shows amazing depth and structure, bright fruit and a long finish.  Wine is best made when a winemaker has choices. This philosophy is evident in the Troublemaker, a blend crafted from multiple varietals and vintages. The selected lots of wine come from the 2008, 2009 and 2010 vintages, but the majority (65%) is 2009. Aged wine from 2008 (15%) adds complexity and structure, while the bright, young wine from 2010 (20%) brings forth a freshness that helps complete the finished wine.

Hope Family Winery "Troublemaker" Red Blend 4 Tasting Notes

"Troublemaker combines elegance and power. Bright aromas of black cherry and licorice evolve into a stronger bouquet reminiscent of smoked meats. The wine shows amazing depth and intensity with a rich and textural mouthfeel. Complete with bright red fruit flavors along with hints of leather and cocoa, it is a well-balanced wine that culminates with an extended finish." - Winery Notes
