Description
Founded in 1883, Wente Vineyards is the oldest continuously operated, family-owned winery in America. Today the estate is comprised of vineyards in the Livermore Valley, San Francisco and Arroyo Seco appellations and is operated by the fourth and fifth generations of the Wente family.
The fruit for this impressive Cabernet comes from the valley floor and southern hills of Livermore Valley with its gravelly alluvial fans. The soils on the estate and climate help to give Wente a Cabernet Sauvignon that is rich in flavour with an appealing structure. Aromatics of dried cranberry, bay leaf and crushed black pepper, with notes of black soil and cassis. Grilled plum and cedar are complimented by round tannins to finish this balanced wine.
