Wente Southern Hills Cabernet Sauvignon

This Cabernet Sauvignon from the Livermore Valley shows an intense bouquet hinting of ripe black cherries, juicy red plums and cassis, rounded off by fine nuances of mocha and a subtle spice. The Wente Southern Hills Cabernet Sauvignon is sumptuous and full-bodied on the palate, with defining, well-integrated tannins and a long, elegant finish.

This Cabernet from the southern hills of the Livermore Valley matured for 16 months in both new and used French and Eastern European oak casks. In addition to Cabernet Sauvignon, the Californian Wente Vineyards estate unites smaller percentages of Petit Verdot, Petite Sirah, Malbec and Tempranillo to create this blend. You’ll enjoy discovering this red wine from the United States with lamb dishes, lasagne, spaghetti bolognese or rump steak.

This dry white wine is full-bodied with a lovely balance of acidity. On the nose, it offers invigorating aromas of apples and tropical fruits, beautifully complemented by hints of vanilla and subtle toasty notes. The palate is treated to flavors of pears, green apple, and a hint of lime cake.This fresh, crisp white wine was aged for five months—50% in American oak and 50% in stainless steel tanks—to highlight its natural fruit flavors.
