Small Lot

2005 Arroyo Seco, Monterey Cabernet Sauvignon

Wente Vineyards Small Lot Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2005 vintage is a stunning expression of the Arroyo Seco region in Monterey. This deep red wine showcases a full-bodied profile, offering an inviting introduction filled with complex layers. Its high acidity brings a bright liveliness, while the prominent fruit intensity highlights notes of blackcurrant and ripe plum, perfectly balanced against the wine's structure. Tannins are notably firm, providing a robust backbone that enhances the wine's aging potential. This wine is bone dry, allowing for a concentrated finish that lingers on the palate, making it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty dishes or simply enjoying on its own.
