Benziger Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 (California)

Truly gorgeous magenta-crimson hue with aromas of blackberry compote, mocha above the rim and a sweet bright red fruit I cannot put my finger (or should I say "nose" on).

Palate--A pleasant tartness out of the gate but is mitigated by the ample blackberry fruit in the mid palate. It held up well to my charcoal grilled rib-eye for my wife for Mother's Day. 

Benziger Family has been doing wine well for a long time and this $17 Cab actually has some Cabernet characteristics.  For the $10 I paid for it, I'd do it again so raise a glass!
