(Cain Concept The Benchland) 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 12% Petit Verdot. The Concept displays aromas and flavors of macerated cherry, blackberry, and black plum. Earthy bottom notes of dark chocolate, coffee, and mushroom anchor the broad and generous palate, focused by firm, dusty tannins. This wine demonstrates the Cain style in a ripe vintage, maintaining its balance while showcasing the lush, purple benchland fruit. Winery Spotlight: Cain Vineyard & Winery
