Wente brothers with Steve Ewing and Larry DiPietro

I took a break from moving my rose' section to the chardonnay aisle with some wine from Wente...this winery was known as Wente Brothers for many years but recently when Carolyn took over and she not being a brother went with a new direction on the wines. the other change with the label is a proprietary name for each one. Another wine they represent is Tomas which features Italian varietals.

Tamas Pinot Grigio 2006 a touch of citrus not much body....nice drinking wine but there are so many pinot grigio in this price point. i do like the label of the bottle, it represents a train ticket in italy...cute idea.

Tamas Barbera juicy, red fruit, bright colors...a nice wine but I dont know where i would find a home for this. will find one though

Wente Reliz Creek Pinot noir. clean cranberry fruit forward tea.....typical central coast fruit.

Tamas Zinfandel. 2005 everything i dont like about zin...too much briar...not enough fruit

Wente Southern Hills Cabernet my favorite of this group. true cab flavors with berry and coffee standing out the most.
