Wente Southern Hills Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 hails from the Livermore Valley in California, a region celebrated for its rich winemaking history and ideal climate. The wine exemplifies the area’s terroir, showcasing the purity of Cabernet fruit grown in this sun-drenched yet cool maritime-influenced region. Known for its heritage and commitment to quality, Wente Vineyards crafts this wine with meticulous care to highlight the varietal's signature characteristics.
This 2020 vintage is a beautifully balanced expression of Cabernet Sauvignon, opening with aromas of blackberry, cassis, and black cherry. On the palate, these bold fruit notes are elegantly complemented by layers of oak-inspired baking spices such as nutmeg and hints of gingerbread, lending a warm and slightly spiced complexity. The wine’s medium body and smooth tannins make it approachable yet structured, with a lingering finish that leaves a refined impression.
Best enjoyed at room temperature, the Southern Hills Cabernet Sauvignon pairs perfectly with grilled meats, hearty stews, or roasted vegetables. It’s equally enjoyable on its own, sipped slowly to appreciate its layered flavors and aromatics. Whether for an intimate dinner or a casual gathering, this wine brings a touch of California’s winemaking tradition to any occasion.
