Twenty Bench Wines Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
Region: Napa Valley
Winery: Nine North Wine Company
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon

Our favorite Twenty Bench vintage ever, the 2005 Twenty Bench has sweet black fruit aromas that are expansive in the mouth and evocative of blackberries, licorice, chocolate covered cherries and cocoa powder. Slightly higher ripeness than past vintages with well-integrated tannins that balance nicely with the sweet toasty oak this vintage shows distinctive character, rich palate coating textures and lots of layers and depth. This is benchmark Napa Valley Cabernet!
