Wente 2005 Charles Wetmore Cabernet Sauvignon (Livermore Valley)

Country: US / Charles Wetmore
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Wente / Livermore Valley

Pretty straightforward Cabernet, done well and blended with bits of Petit Verdot and Merlot. Vanilla, tobacco and cassis aromas mark the nose, while the flavors are similar, but with a slightly plummy edge. Soft and supple on the finish, there’s no need to cellar this wine.
