The 2021 Wente Southern Hills Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic example of an approachable California Cabernet. Clean and concise fruit leads every step of the way showcasing fresh blackberry, cassis, and black cherry which is supported by a delightful layering of oak-inspired flavors including chocolate and a touch of freshly baked gingerbread. The balanced, well-polished wine and the fruity substance, integrated oak, and underlying structure make it clear that this Wente fan favorite will drink beautifully for the next 3-5 years.
Blend: 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petite Sirah, 3% Petit Verdot, 2% Malbec
92 Tasting Panel Ripe and creamy, with round, supple tannins and a luscious flow of cherry, espresso, licorice, and soy sauce.
89 Wine Enthusiast Blackberry, dried anise and richer licorice aromas draw the nose into this bottling. The palate of the wine is softer, with feathery tannins that frame nearly sweet black-plum flavors
