Medium-intensity aromas of blackberry, bell pepper, pepper, and perfume. Medium flavours of blueberry, vanilla, bell pepper, white pepper, brown sugar, and dried herbs with the bell pepper coming back at the end. An easy-drinking juicy wine from Sonoma, I was surprised by the bell pepper. Good with pizza

Retail $20 (often below $16). Under cork. Heavy bottle. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. When I grab a Cab that comes in under twenty bucks, I am cautious as there are a ton of wines at that price point that are rather, well, regrettable. Not with Benziger, however, as the family has been producing affordable, tasty wines for the better part of four decades. Cab in point (sorry, I really did almost stop myself). Great fruit, surprising acidity, and plenty of depth regardless of price.

Nice easy to drink wine. Not complex. Some earthy aromas and flavors. Short finish.
