A Legacy of Excellence in Every Sip
Discover the Wente Estate Grown Southern Hills Cabernet Sauvignon, a remarkable wine that embodies the rich heritage and expertise of the Wente family, who have been crafting exceptional wines since 1883. Sourced from the Southern Hills estate in California’s Livermore Valley, this Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the region's unique terroir, resulting in a wine that is both vibrant and full-bodied.
Tasting Notes
Southern Hills Cabernet Sauvignon welcomes you with floral bouquet aromatics, beautifully balanced by ripe blueberries, raspberries, and black olives. In the glass, this full-bodied wine presents a deep purple hue, inviting you to explore its complex character. The nose reveals fruity aromas of ripe blackberry, cherry, and plum, enriched by subtle oak and vanilla undertones.
On the palate, this wine delivers luscious flavours of ripe plum and boysenberry, accompanied by rich black cherry, blackberry, and cassis. The playful tannins and well-integrated acidity create a delightful mouthfeel, while the long and satisfying finish leaves a pleasant warmth with a hint of spice.
Craftsmanship and Terroir
Wente’s commitment to sustainable practices and meticulous vineyard management is evident in every bottle. The estate’s vineyards are situated in an ideal climate, where warm days and cool evenings create perfect growing conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes are handpicked at optimal ripeness, ensuring that only the best fruit makes its way into the winery.
This wine undergoes a careful fermentation process, with a portion aged in French and American oak barrels, allowing for the development of rich flavours and a refined texture. The result is a wine that not only reflects the quality of its vineyard but also the passion and dedication of the Wente family.

from 479 reviewsThis is a superb wine - full but not heavy, fruity and smooth. Perfect for sharing on an autumn evening.

Stunning depth and rich body. I can almost tell if a red wine is going to be good by the lack of a white rim around when you pour the glass. This has a lovely blood ted colour and delivers.

I'm just going to be honest here, I'm a Gavi Girl and have been trying to find this little gem for a while. It's absolutely delicious and so adaptable too. Thrilled with the price, delivery and service and happily ordering more!

A lovely drink and remarkably good value . Smooth and buttery with that unmistakable Napa terroir writ large. Nothing not to like.

Another fantastic wine tasting. But with a difference. Wine bottles concealed in black numbered bags 1-7. Black glasses. So we were unaware of what we were tasting, having to rely on taste and smell alone. We had tasting notes to guide our thoughts once we had made a few notes ourselves. It was great fun. I managed to at least figure out whether or not the wine was red. But missed the rose and mistook one white for red.
The Wine Shop tasting are great fun. Highly recommend.

Great evening getting confused and educated at the very interesting Mystery Wine Tasting with 7 secret wines in black bags to taste using black glasses so you couldn’t tell if it was white, rose, or red. Kelli and Caroline gave great guidance and helped us work through what we were smelling and tasting to get to a grape and country. My two fears were that (1) I wouldn’t recognise a Tempranillo (especially as it turned out to be one I have often purchased!) and (2) that I’d actually like a Merlot!!! (Luckily there wasn’t one 😂). Another brilliant wine tasting.

We really enjoyed the Rose Wine Tasting which showcased a great selection of styles so that there was something that suited everyone around our table . Really informative about the different production methods and busted some myths! Wine Shop Winscombe tastings are always great value and great fun.

The first time I tasted the Long Barn I paid £15 for a large glass in a upmarket town pub. £15!! Oh my though, it was delicious..
Full bodied, fruity with and intense spicy finish, I had to fight my partner for the rest of the glass once he’d been given a taste.
Imagine my delight when I found it here at Vinoshop for less than £15 for the bottle! I’ll take a cheeky box of 6 thanks!

Another great wine tasting, with an exciting range of Summer Wines. Starting with a surprisingly good gently sparkling Asti, with an outstanding Penfolds 311 Chardonnay, with some fresh Summery reds including a great, full bodied Cabernet Franc from Argentina. As ever, expertly curated and explained. Looking forward to the next tastings.

The dark fruit, hint of spice and chocolate make for a truly delicious Valpolicella! I’m here to order another six bottle.. yum! 😋

I am very much enjoying this whisky in the evening for a night cap. It is beautifully smooth, well balanced, with a elegant floral sweetness.

I recently shopped at vinoshop.co.uk and was really impressed. The website is easy to use, with helpful wine descriptions that made choosing the right bottle a lot simpler. I was looking for a gift for a Ruby anniversary, and their team suggested a stunning Portuguese red wine—it was perfect!
The checkout process was smooth, and my order arrived quickly, beautifully packaged. Plus, the customer service was fantastic—they were quick to answer my questions and offer great advice.
If you're after quality wines and excellent service, I highly recommend The Wine Shop. It’s a great experience from start to finish.

Thank you so much for the recommendation, it went beautifully with the mackerel we had last night.

Just right for sharing with my visiting family and now for supping on the Isles of Scilly.
Thank you Matthew and Kelli (and new team member Carolyn? whom I have yet to meet!). Great to hear about your new business plans. J.

Pre-selected white wine case of 12, a lovely selection perfect for summer bbq’s and entertaining. Super fast delivery too.
