The Hope family has been farming vineyards in Paso Robles since the late 1970s, and Treana was created to showcase Rhône grape varieties thriving in the Central Coast's warm, limestone-rich soils. The 2021 vintage blend comprises 48% Marsanne, 45% Viognier, and 7% Roussanne — each varietal is picked and fermented separately to preserve individual character before final blending.

That technique, combined with a seven-grape blend anchored by Cabernet Sauvignon and bolstered by Petite Sirah and four other Bordeaux and Rhône varietals, creates a wine with genuine structural complexity. Winemaker Austin Hope's reputation in Paso Robles lends credibility to the label, and the minimal racking protocol preserves a fruit purity that many comparably priced Cabernets sacrifice. For drinkers exploring Central Coast reds or looking for a reliably rich, layered Cabernet blend, Treana consistently delivers substance over flash.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Treana","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44837927616681,"sku":"34926","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/1024\/6313\/files\/Treana-Cabernet-Sauvignon__02825.jpg?v=1730500925"}],"url":"https:\/\/theliquorbarn.com\/collections\/treana.oembed","provider":"The Liquor Barn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
