Wente ‘Charles Wetmore’ Cabernet Sauvignon is a harmonious, rich and flavourful Californian red wine with a dense palate.

For five generations, the Wente family has been dedicated to the art of winemaking. Their philosophy holds that the quality of a wine originates in the vineyard. The Estate Grown ‘Charles Wetmore’ Cabernet Sauvignon is named after one of the Livermore Valley’s most prominent pioneers, California’s first agricultural commissioner. He permitted planting vine cuttings from many of Bordeaux’s top Chateaux in the temperate Livermore Valley in the 1880s, thus changing the country’s wine scene forever.

The descendants of vines Wetmore brought from France thrive today in the gravelly loam soils. From their origins in Margaux in the 19th century to the present, only the best of these Cabernet Sauvignon vines carry over to each new generation planted. They make wines with intensity and depth of flavour, as well as a rich, lush body.

This is a blend with Cabernet Sauvignon as the dominant variety. Joining it is a dash of Petite Sirah, Petit Verdot and Malbec. It aged for 18 months in 40% new French oak and 60% in second and third use barrels. The result is a beautifully fine wine with lots of finesse amongst the heft and power of the Cabernet. Lots of dark berries, peppercorn notes and then cocoa enliven the palate. This is an astoundingly good wine offering immense value for money.

Enjoy Wente ‘Charles Wetmore’ Cabernet Sauvignon with rich but flavourful dishes like cabbage rolls or a hearty vegetable stew with pesto.
