The 2022 Livermore Valley Wetmore Cabernet Sauvignon opens with aromas of black currant and cassis, complemented by a hint of "Livermore Dust." Creamy oak notes bring roasted cocoa nibs and hardwood complexity. On the palate, the wine offers layers of ripe black cherry and plum, leading to a long, satisfying finish. While initially supple, it transitions into a deep, rich profile with a firm tannin structure that will support its aging potential.

Our Southern Hills Cabernet Sauvignon is named for our vineyards located along
the southern hills of the Central Coast. The Wente family farms approximately
400 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards using the two clones originating from
California wine pioneer Charles Wetmore’s Bordeaux cuttings in the 19th
century. With well-drained rocky soils and unique microclimates, the Southern
Hills vineyards are in the most desirable settings, with exposures ideal for
growing Cabernet Sauvignon of distinct character, depth, and intensity.
