Estancia Cabernet Sauvignon

"The 2021 Wente Southern Hills Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic example of an approachable California Cabernet. Clean and concise fruit leads every step of the way showcasing fresh blackberry, cassis, and black cherry which is supported by a delightful layering of oak-inspired flavors including chocolate and a touch of freshly baked gingerbread. The balanced, well-polished wine and the fruity substance, integrated oak, and underlying structure make it clear that this Wente fan favorite will drink beautifully for the next 3-5 years." —winemaker

"Vint is a celebration of the rich tradition of winemaking that Robert Mondavi inspired. He believed that wines from California's Central Coast offer an incredible depth of flavor. Grapes from vineyards resting between the Pacific Ocean and the mountains create a naturally complex taste for our Cabernet Sauvignon with notes of black cherry, blackberry, and raspberry. The rich mouthfeel leads to a finish of sweet spice and toasted oak. Pair with grilled steaks and vegetables." —winemaker

"Dark garnet red in color, the 2021 Grounded Cabernet Sauvignon leads with warm aromas of ripe black cherry, espresso, vanilla, and clove.

"Our wine, made from premium vineyards in the Paso Robles AVA, captures the spirit of 1850’s California. It’s a rebellious red, fermented in stainless steel and oak, with notes of dark fruit, brown spice, and a dusting of toasted tobacco that offers you a distinct taste of Paso Robles." —winemaker

"Our rich and vibrant Cabernet Sauvignon bursts with velvety notes of dark cherry and toasted vanilla met by layers of black currants and acai berry.

"The 2022 DAOU Cabernet Sauvignon exemplifies Paso Robles. The nose is highly perfumed, showing aromas of black cherry, cassis, plum, desert sage, sandalwood and dusty minerality. Secondary aromas reveal notes of cigar box, leather, bay leaf and black olive. The palate is rich and weighty, offering generous flavors of black raspberry, spicy currant and blueberry compote with impressions of Bing cherry, boysenberry, fig and baking spices. Ripe, fine-grained tannins carry into a structured finish with lingering accents of cherry, espresso and vanilla." —winemaker

"Aromas of bing cherry, blackberry and cassis with hints of chocolate mocha and caramel. The palate is full-bodied and rich with flavors of ripe berries and dark fruit, supported by silky tannins and notes of vanilla marshmallow and layers of spice on a complex, long finish." —winemaker

"This tried-and-true Cabernet has been a dinner table staple for more than 40 years. A rich ruby hue fills the glass along with aromas of fresh vanilla, lush red fruit and herbaceous nuances.

"One of nature’s greatest unsolved mysteries meets one of our most beloved wines. Seeking to achieve the perfect, zero-deficit flavor profile, we harvest clusters at the point of perfect ripeness & combine them at the press before a slow, meticulous fermentation. Allowed to rest in perfect darkness, the unfolding of an elemental prowess takes shape. A smoldering nose of black pepper & currant melds seamlessly into a lush, robust palate of velvety violet, tobacco leaf, cassis & subtle licorice. Balanced acidity & integrated tannins linger at the tongue for what seems an endless night." —winemaker
