Review: Wente Heritage Block Series Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, 2011 Releases
These two new releases come from Wente’s Heritage Block series of simpler, everyday wines.
2010 Wente Riva Ranch Chardonnay Arroyo Seco Monterey – Traditional in style, with that hugely buttery body, grilled and smoked meats on the nose, and a long, savory finish. B / $20
2009 Wente Charles Wetmore Cabernet Sauvignon Livermore Valley – A youthful, ultra-jammy wine with characteristics of licorice and oak, with lots of raisins and a pruny finish. Not fulfilling. Tastes really inexpensive. C- / $25
