About
Our Benchmark Cabernet Sauvignon recognizes the distinctive character and nuances of our estate vineyard. In 2018, our winemaker surveyed his favorite block, Block 23, by vinifying the east and west sections of the hill and picking his favorite barrels from the most expressive, concentrated and intense lots. Aromas of crème de cassis, spearmint and leather rise from the glass. The flavors echo the nose and add notes of cherry cordial, chocolate mint and dried herbs. Full bodied with a creamy mid palate and silky tannins that envelop your palate finishing long and delicious. This
wine is made to age for years to come and would make an ideal addition to your cellar.

93 Points
from Wine Spectator, December 2022
Fruity, with steeped açaí berry, boysenberry and black cherry reduction flavors taking the lead. The nicely embedded graphite spine gives this form, while the finish has a flourish of melted licorice and roasted apple wood to match the fruit. A big, broad crowd-pleaser. Best from 2023 through 2036. 77 cases made.

There are just 77 cases of the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Benchmark, selected from Block W23 off the estate vineyard. Cherry, cassis and vanilla notes mark the nose, while the wine is full-bodied and silky textured on the palate, with a long, mouthwatering finish that folds in savory notes amid softly dusty tannins.
