From Livermore Valley wine region, Wente Wetmore Vineyard 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is a Cabernet-driven, dry and full-bodied red blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Petite Sirah, 8% Petit Verdot and 2% Malbec produced from sustainably-farmed and estate grown grapes. Rich and concentrated on the palate with ripe blackberry, blueberry, black currant, vanilla, minty and savoury spices on the palate with well-integrated tannins. Grapes were fermented in stainless steel tanks, pumped over twice daily and aged 18 months in 40% new and 60% second and third use French oak barrels. Pour with pasta Bolognese. Drink or hold.

Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: roast beef with root vegetables, baron of beef with red wine sauce and scalloped potatoes, flat iron steak on the BBQ.
