Wente Vineyards Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Charles Wetmore 2018
Livermore, San Francisco Bay, California, United StatesWetmore Vineyard is located in Livermore Valley, part of the larger San Francisco Bay AVA. It's just over a 30 minute drive from San Jose, so you can go wine tasting and catch the Sharks all in one day. Wente was established in the Valley back in 1883, and is now its largest producer. This cabernet shows bold blackberry with a good amount of mocha and toasted oak after 18 months in barrel (40% new French oak). It's firmly structured, with medium-grained tannins, so this will drink at its best in 3-4 years. Some time in bottle will also help to bring some complexity to the straightforward fruit. Correct, if a bit simple.Tasted: 27 March 2021Tasted by: Geoffrey Moss MWPrices:| BC | $31.99 | 750ml | private wine stores |
