" A blended wine that includes components from several famous sites, including Georges III, Stagecoach and Kenefick Ranch, among others, Venge's 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Silencieux fits the Venge model perfectly, boasting oodles of color and bold aromas of vanilla and cedar accenting big black cherry flavors. It's medium to full-bodied, clocking in under 15% alcohol on the label, yet it offers plenty of sweet-tasting fruit, an expansive mouthfeel and just enough dusty tannins to give it some grip on the finish."
