Wente Vineyards Southern Hills Cabernet Sauvignon Livermore Valley - 750ml Bottle

Wente Family Vineyards Southern Hills Cabernet Sauvignon is a smooth, bold, and rich red wine that reflects generations of expertise and the distinct character of California’s Central Coast. Named for the gently rolling hills that define the region, this wine combines fruit intensity, soft tannins, and subtle oak influence to create a Cabernet that’s both approachable and expressive. The Wente family has been cultivating Cabernet Sauvignon for decades, using heritage clones descended from Bordeaux cuttings introduced to California in the 19th century. These vines thrive in the Central Coast’s well-drained soils and cool, coastal-influenced climate, ideal conditions for producing wines with depth, balance, and varietal purity. Aged for 12 months in a blend of French, American, and neutral oak barrels, along with stainless steel tanks, this Cabernet strikes a harmony between bold fruit and elegant structure. Notes of black cherry, plum, and cassis lead the way, layered with hints of cocoa and subtle spice. The mouthfeel is polished and smooth, with soft tannins and a lingering finish that makes it a favorite for both casual sipping and hearty meals. As a certified sustainable winery and vineyard, Wente Family Vineyards takes a holistic approach to farming and winemaking, from responsible water use and energy conservation to soil health and biodiversity. This commitment to sustainability ensures that every bottle is crafted with care for the land and future generations. Whether you’re pairing it with grilled steak, lasagna, or a weeknight burger, Southern Hills Cabernet Sauvignon delivers the kind of quality, value, and drinkability that defines Wente’s legacy as a leader in California wine.
