One of our most popular Cabs named by one of our own wine consultants! The Bentgate is the pure expression of California – especially when it’s crafted by a team of four California’s great winemakers, including our own Francis Sanders and Guy Davis, of Davis Family Vineyards. Deep red in color upon entry, it offers all the cherry vanilla you’d expect from a Golden State signature red. Cassis, plum and oak aromas and flavors with a hint of herbs combine beautifully. A small portion of Merlot rounds out the final product.

Taste:
A nose defined by tell-tale cherry and vanilla cream scents with a touch of spice. Cherry, oak and fresh-cut herbs flood the palate for a sleek, silky texture that leads to a lengthy, powerful finish. Predominantly made from Cabernet Sauvignon, this red is combined with just enough Merlot to mellow the blend.
Region:
A majority of the fruit for this release comes from California’s Central Coast. The balance comes from Sonoma County which explains why it carries a broad California appellation/designation.
