Wente Vineyards Wente Southern Hill Cabernet Sauvignon

Wente Southern Hill Cabernet Sauvignon is a California proprietary red blend anchored by 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, with supporting Petit Verdot, Petite Sirah, Malbec, and Tempranillo. The wine opens with dominant dark plum and black cherry fruit, supported by secondary cedar and cocoa notes that reflect careful oak integration. Medium-full body and medium-high tannin structure provide backbone for food pairing across grilled red meat, braised beef, and lamb dishes. Tertiary leather and tobacco notes emerge with age, adding complexity to an approachable, well-balanced California red.
