Founded in 1883, Wente Family Vineyards’ Legacy Series Cabernet Franc honors generations of craftsmanship with fruit sourced from carefully selected estate vines in Livermore Valley. Thoughtful clonal selection and precise winemaking—including small-lot fermentation and twenty months in French oak—create a beautifully balanced wine layered with red cherry, sun-warmed earth, baking spice, and subtle vanilla. Polished and quietly elegant, this medium-bodied Cabernet Franc is captivating now and will continue to evolve gracefully over the next seven years.
The inaugural 2023 vintage of n DEGREE Cabernet Franc is a compelling expression
of why this variety thrives in the Livermore Valley. The nose entices with layered
aromas of red and black cherry, earthy undertones, black pepper, and a touch of spicy French oak. On the palate, it offers a rich yet balanced mouthfeel, with a moderate body and a refined tannin structure that carries gracefully through a long, elegant finish.
