 | 2010 Twenty Bench Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml - $22.99 "True to the Twenty Bench style deep, dark hue, rich, complex nose with dense color, lots of cassis, blackberry, licorice and quite lush, good natural vineyard concentration and balanced with nice vanilla oak. This is a profound example of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon that can easily hang with Napa Cabs at twice the price." -The Winery |
