Small Lot Reds
2007 Small Lot Benchmark Red
$60.00 per bottle
This very limited 2007 Benchmark Red is made from 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot and 17% Cabernet Franc. It was barrel aged in 100% French oak for 24 months.
This wine has an elagent bouquet of black cherry, blackberry, black pepper, chocolate and leather. Flavours of sweet black fruits, leather, sweet chai spice and cocoa fill the mouth, while black currant, cocoa and toasty notes linger endlessly on the finish.
This full-bodied and well structured red will age gracefully through 2016, or perhaps longer...
