PRODUCT OVERVIEW:
Founded in 1883, Wente is the longest continuously-operated family-owned winery in the country, owned and managed by the fourth and fifth generations of the Wente family. The Wentes own estate vineyards throughout California. With the most profound respect for the knowledge passed down from previous generations, the current caretakers of the Wente family vineyards continue their vision for wine quality and integrity through passion, dedication, and pursuit of excellence. (from winery notes)

Today's wine is sourced and named for Wente's Southern Hills Vineyards, located along the southern hills of the Central Coast. The area, with its abundant sunshine, cooling breezes, and well-drained, rocky soils, is exceptionally well-suited to the production of cabernet sauvignon grapes. A blend of 81% cabernet sauvignon, 13% petite sirah, 2% petit verdot, and 1% each of tempranillo, cabernet franc, malbec, and syrah, it is aged in a combination of new and seasoned Franch and American oak barrels as well as stainless steel in order to achieve the perfect balance of richness, depth, and freshness.

Rich and full-bodied, the 2020 Wente "Southern Hills" Cabernet Sauvignon is resplendent with ultra-ripe aromas and flavors of cassis, blackberry jam, and black cherries. On the palate, these fruit characters are laced with notes of vanilla, toast, baking spices, and balancing acidity. Check out the press!

90 points, & Best Buy, Wine Enthusiast Magazine:
"Pleasantly approachable aromas of blackberry sauce, mace, and dried ginger meet with loamy soil on the nose of this bottling. Leathery tannins frame the palate, where dark rich fruit flavors cling to a long finish." (5/1/23)
