With a history going back to 1883, Wente is America’s oldest family owned winery. Based in Livermore to the east of San Francisco Bay, they have extensive vineyard holdings across the central coast area including, as the name suggests, along the southern hills. Half a lifetime ago (well 31 years ago to be precise) I was fortunate enough to spend a Sunday afternoon at the estate tasting (drinking) eating and playing all manner of “garden games” whilst on a trip with a whole bunch of international wine buyers – it’s the kind of memory that sticks with you. What’s the wine like Chris? In a word, generous. Full flavoured with the whole California Cabernet thing going on of blackberries and cassis. 12 months in a mix of French and American oak adds an extra dimension and at this time of year, in terms of food, I’d be thinking barbecue

Ripasso wines benefit from extra structure and fruit delivered by using the skins of sun dried grapes. This wine is bursting with cherries on the nose, has great depth of flavour, silky smooth fruit and a long, rich velvety finish.

An elegant, well rounded wine with soft juicy tannins, the nose offers sweet spices, cassis and ripe berries, sugared orange peel, rooibos and a smoky charcuterie character which follows through onto the palate, with a long and lingering aftertaste.
