AWARD-WINNING WINES

The 2021 vintage Wetmore Cabernet Sauvignon impresses with its unwavering commitment to the varietal's essence, displaying exemplary structure and a lavish richness.

The 2022 nth DEGREE Pinot Noir from Wente Vineyards demonstrates the depth of the Dijon Clone. Dark ruby in the glass, the wine smells of black cherry and blackberries framed by vanilla and toasted oak. Flavors of ripe dark fruits and baking spices are followed by silky tannins.

The 2022 Riva Ranch Vineyard Pinot Noir is a bright, buoyant, and altogether compelling example of the Arroyo Secco appellation. This year’s bottling offers up youthful aromas of ripe black cherries and briary currents that are seamlessly combined with an integrated layer of toasty oak spice, showing hints of baked cinnamon and chestnut. Supple and rounded tannins combined with juicy acidity keep the wine balanced from front to back.

Our 2023 Louis Mel Sauvignon Blanc displays classic fruit combined with juicy acidity which adds up to a wine bursting with youthful exuberance. This vintage showcases notes of classic grapefruit with additional notes of white apricot, guava, and key lime. These notes are complemented by fruit-driven flavors of sweet Meyer lemon and candied citrus. This wine is well rounded with a balanced acidity, complimented by a touch of minerality on the finish.

Our 2023 Morning Fog Chardonnay bursts with aromatics of citrus and green apple complemented by hints of toasty oak and vanilla from barrel-aging. This wine is balanced by a lingering minerality and natural acidity to create a beautiful wine.

Our 2021 nth DEGREE Pinot Noir is dark ruby in color and shows aromas of black cherry and ripe cranberry that are framed by vanilla and toasted oak. The nth DEGREE is a selection of handcrafted, limited production wines created by Fifth Generation Winemaker, Karl D. Wente. The focus of this small lot program is to create wines that reflect the distinctive terroir of the Wente family’s estate vineyards in Livermore Valley and Arroyo Seco, Monterey.

Our 2021 Serenity Red Wine is a proprietary blend of Syrah, Petite Sirah, Grenache, and Mourvedre that impresses with its exotic substance, riveting depth, and engaging complexity. There is plenty of sweet oak that showcases baked cinnamon and vanilla bean which perfectly compliments the abundant candied red cherry and dried fruit flavors.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is fully packed with notes of black cherry and red plums from front to back and its optimally ripened fruit is decked out with a generous measure of French oak spice including toasted vanilla bean, polished mahogany, and a hint of clove and winter spice.

Generous aromas of black cherries and currants are at the heart of our 2019 nth DEGREE Merlot. Deliciously deep and focused, the juicy and satisfying fruit unfolds with layers of rich and sweet chocolately oak, but a touch of decanting on this youthful and exuberant wine will reveal additional layers of graphite, maple, and nutmeg with a hint of Livemore dust.

The 2023 Wente Vineyards Limited Release Sauvignon Blanc has beautiful aromatics of green melon and passion fruit framed by subtle sweet oak. The wine has flavors of ripe grapefruit and honeydew backed by bright acidity.
