Benziger Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2002
This is the Cabernet equivalent of an iron fist in a velvet glove. It is rich, full bodied, and round, with layers of cedar, blackberry and chocolate flavors. On the finish, it is long and toasty, with a tannic grip suggesting it will improve with another five to ten years of further aging. Enjoy this wine with broiled steak, beef empanadas, or lamb with black olives and green peppers. Wine Enthusiast This is really a first-class Cabernet showing not only the beauty of the vintage but the blender’s craft. Drinkable now for its finely grained tannins and refined black currant and cassis flavors, it has the dry balance for the cellar. Elegant and sophisticated, it’s best now through 2008. Score: 92. —Steve Heimoff, April 01, 2007. |
