2014 Benediction Estates Cabernet Sauvignon

“The whole is greater than the part”. Densely compacted like a nautilus, the 2014 Benediction’s bouquet teases its greatness upon arrival, and then dives into a dark descent. Full-bodied with stunning fruit intensity and purity, the palate is immediately opulent and robust: displaying its bright plumage of blackberry, boisenberry, huckleberry and cassis, followed closely by tobacco, earth, sage and lavender. Overlayed, and hinting at its myriad sources, the wine steadily rises until its crescendo, covering the palate and promising enjoyment for years to come.
