Sonoma County, California, United StatesSmoky black olive and dill nose with the characteristic Benziger saddle leather and cherry jam. Big black cherry olive green bean tobacco flavours in the mouth with smoky cherry cola or as ripe as a '99 can be. A solid red but not particularly Californian. Still a bit dry and tannic but elegant nonetheless.Tasted: 15 July 2003Tasted by: Prices:AB | $69.43 | 750ml | |
