Description
The Wetmore Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is named after one of the Livermore Valley's most prominent pioneers, California's first agricultural commissioner, known for planting vine cuttings from many of Bordeaux's finest châteaux. The Wetmore Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is perfect with its focus on varietal character, structure, and overall richness. The wine leads with classic aromas of black cherry and cassis with a hint of oak. These aromatics are followed by notes of blueberry, espresso beans, and a touch of anise that linger on the finish.

ABOUT WENTE VINEYARDS
Wente Vineyards is the oldest family-owned winery in the country. Its wines are 100% sustainably grown and cultivated in the Livermore Valley, San Francisco Bay, and Arroyo Seco, Monterey appellations. The winery is owned and operated by the fourth and fifth generations of the Wente family, known for their influence on the craft of California Chardonnay.
ABOUT ARROYO SECO
Although Arroyo Seco received official recognition as a wine designation in 1983, it was a well-kept secret in Monterey County until recently. Relatively speaking, the northern Santa Lucia Highlands region wasn't established until 1991, yet it's still widely known. Yet, Arroyo Seco fruit, once an anonymous component of Monterey County wine blends, is now a prized label designation in its own right.
Monterey Bay and Salinas Valley are the defining influences of the region. The cold Pacific air, which flows south from Monterey Bay through Salinas Valley, is both a blessing and a curse. Without this air conditioner, Arroyo Seco would be too warm for Burgundian varietals, yet the vineyards consistently produce bright, red-fruited Pinot Noir and well-balanced Chardonnay. On the other hand, growing conditions are challenging. When the colder Pacific air collides with warmer air from the south, the clash often generates afternoon gales and hail.

Wente Vineyards - from Napa to Livermore Valley
The Wente Vineyards winery in California's Livermore Valley vineyards was founded in 1883. Today, Wente Vineyards is the "oldest family-owned winery still in operation in the United States." It all started in 1883 when Carl Wente started growing grapes on 47 hectares. At that time, he had already learned the winemaking trade from Charles Krug in Napa Valley and was able to get to work with the excellent soil in Livermore Valley.
1935 – California's first grape variety label
In 1935, Carl's sons—Ernest and Herman—introduced the first wine label in California to designate a grape variety — in this case, Sauvignon Blanc. The Wentes' efforts, including the groundbreaking night harvest, have helped make Livermore Valley one of California's premier wine regions.
The Wente clone. It doesn't get more individual than this
The Wente clone is a particularly heat-resistant rootstock that is used in many California vineyards to grow Chardonnay. In 1912, Ernest Wente took cuttings from the University of Montpellier in France to the U.S., and from there they spread not only to Wente but also to a number of other wineries in California, before finally being officially certified by the University of California's Foundation Plant Materials Service.
The Wente vines in all their variety
The grapes grown at Wente in California are, of course, the American classics
- Chardonnay
- Cabernet Sauvignon
- Zinfandel
- Pinot Noir
- Merlot
But in addition, you will also find Wente's classic German white wine, Riesling, grown in the coolest locations. Today, the winery is run by Jordan and Niki Wente. The two sisters are still supported by their father with words and deeds, but they have the last word.
