Wente Vineyards, Livermore Valley (Alameda County, California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Mar 24, 2020

By Robert Whitley

 The Livermore Valley east of the San Francisco Bay area seldom gets the attention it deserves, which serves to keep a lid on prices.  That makes it an exceptional resource for wine lovers more interested in value than cachet.   Wente’s Wetmore Vineyard Cabernet from the 2017 vintage is a value gem, delivering layers of ripe black fruit aroma with supple tannins, a touch of wood spice and impressive length.
