Supple, juicy, fragrant.
Always engaging and fragrant, the 2021 version of the Wente family's estate Cabernet Sauvignon stays true.
Bright cassis and plum jam aromas are woven with vanilla, mint, baking spice and leather underscored by purple flowers, licorice and pipe tobacco. It's a smooth yet juicy wine that is seamless and tasty. Generous purple flavours are woven with spice and vanilla and it has nice persistence.
A tasty modern red with notable freshness to pair with chili dogs, burgers, spicy wings or sausage.
Pairs great with Gone Crackers Olive Oil & Cracked Pepper
