2020 Duetto Cabernet Sauvignon
2020 Duetto Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasting Notes
A tale of two vineyards, the 2020 Artist Series Duetto represents the thoughtful merger of two of Wente's best growing sites for Cabernet Sauvignon, the Karl and the Mel vineyards. The resulting blend exhibits a level of immense richness that is carefully honored by a sense of refinement and elegance. Core aromas of black cherry and jammy currants are framed by layers of generous oak and flavors of graham cracker crust, cinnamon, and a touch of sweetened chocolate. This wine is full in body and rich on the palate while offering a strong tannic backbone.
