Wente Vineyards Southern Hills Cabernet Sauvignon, California 75cl

Discover the legacy of California's Livermore Valley with Wente Vineyards Southern Hills Cabernet Sauvignon. As the oldest continuously operated family-owned winery in the U.S., founded in 1883, Wente Vineyards crafts this wine with over 140 years of expertise. Sourced from sun-drenched hillside vineyards with rocky, well-drained soils, the grapes achieve remarkable intensity. The winery's commitment to sustainability is certified by its California Sustainable Winegrowing status. This deep crimson Cabernet opens with enticing aromas of ripe black cherry, dark plum, and blackberry, layered with notes of vanilla, coffee, and baking spices from oak aging. The palate is medium to full-bodied, offering a smooth and approachable structure with flavors of cassis, dark fruit compote, and a hint of tobacco. Soft, well-integrated tannins lead to a long, polished finish. At 13.5% alcohol, it is incredibly versatile. Enjoy at 15–18°C with grilled red meats, lamb curry, or hard cheeses. While delicious now, it can develop further complexity with short-term cellaring. Best consumed within 3-5 years of the vintage. Contains sulfites.
