2009 Bench Blend Collection Cabernet Sauvignon

Click here to see our Cabernet Gravy & Roasted Eggplant Dressing recipe.

Our 2009 Bench Blend Cabernet Sauvignon is big and juicy with aromas of fresh strawberry and blueberry, followed by red cherry flavors with notes of brown spice and sweet vanilla. The soft, plush mouthfeel, intense fruit and silky tannins evolve into an impressive fruit-focused finish.

The Napa Valley AVA is renowned for its long growing season, marked by warm, sunny days and cool evenings. These growing conditions are ideal for allowing grapes to ripen slowly and evenly. The 2009 growing season in the Napa Valley was characterized by moderate temperatures, which slowed ripening and gave the grapes more time to develop rich flavors. Spring of 2009 was warm and dry, which led to an early bud break. Although harvest was slow to start, warmer temperatures in August accelerated the last days of the maturation process, creating grapes with intense concentration and flavor..
