Benziger Family Winery
Sonoma County, California
A 93 point Cabernet from a longtime Sonoma winemaking family
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Benziger Family Winery
Cabernet Sauvignon
Grape lots were blended from several benchlands and mountain ranches that naturally yield smaller crops and result in intensely colored and flavored wine. Vine canopies were carefully managed to protect the grapes from direct sunlight while the fruit was allowed an extended hang time to fully ripen. In the winery, they used a variety of techniques to maximize flavor intensity while managing tannin levels, including cold soaking and varying fermentation lengths and temperatures. The wine was aged in oak for 16 months and resulted in a delicious fruit-forward but still complex Cabernet.
NOTE: This is NOT a Firstleaf Exclusive wine.
Due to state registrations, we cannot ship this wine to AL, AZ, CO, GA, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, MD, ME, MI, MO, NJ, NV, NY, OH, PA, SD, TX, VT, WA.ABOUT THIS WINE

WINE REGION:
Sonoma County
Many of California's world-class wines come from Sonoma County, separated from Napa by the Mayacamas Mountains. Three times the size of Napa, Sonoma is an incredibly diverse region. Cool coastal zones, fog-cloaked hillsides, sheltered valleys and craggy exposed peaks give Sonoma a vast array of terroirs and microclimates. Its many sub-regions produce a broad range of styles: from the bold Cabernets of Alexander Valley to the fragrant Pinots of Sonoma Coast and the sublime Chardonnays of Chalk Hill.

TASTING NOTES:
Spices
Mocha
Blackberry
Blended from premiere benchland vineyards, this Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon is polished and approachable. Elegant, juicy flavors of berry cobbler followed by mocha and wood spice unite, layer by layer to form a rich, full-bodied wine with chalky, round tannins and a long finish.
