What reviewers say
“23 % Cabernet. 19 % Petite Verdot 16% Merlot 11% Barbera 11% Tempranillo 11% Cab Franc 9% Malbec This one checks all the boxes. So many grapes 🍇 and so much flavor. Aromas of raspberry, plum, and ripe cherry. 🍒 Flavors of some toffee, raspberry, and white pepper. Some much flavor that makes your whole mouth come alive. A little spice on the end as it melts in away in your mouth.”

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Wente Family Vineyards Mount Diablo Highlands Red Blend lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · United States (1,156 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 78.
