Community Tasting Note

Thursday, May 7, 2009 - The Bentgate opens with a nose defined by tell-tale cherry and vanilla cream scents while a touch of spice just confirms this is fabulous Cabernet Sauvignon value. Cherry, oak and fresh-cut herbs flood the palate for a sleek, silky texture that leads to a lengthy, powerful finish. Predominantly made from Cabernet Sauvignon, this red is combined with just enough Merlot to mellow the blend. The resulting wine spent time in both new and old French and American oak for a beautifully balanced wine. This wine won a bronze medal at the 2007 San Francisco International Wine Competition and a silver, highly recommended at the 2007 World Wine Championships

Food Pairings:
This wine would be delicious with pork chops with capers, grilled lamb, or steak.
