The 2012 Benchland Select Cabernet Sauvignon is an absolutely terrific showing from Cakebread Cellars. As it opens in the glass it releases alluring aromas of dark cherries and blackberries layered with mocha, spices, anise, minerals and fresh turned soil. On the palate this is full-bodied with a gorgeous rich, velvety texture and wonderful overall balance. This is drinking exceptionally well today, however it also shows the potential to evolve for many years to come. (Best 2016-2030) - November, 2015 (JD)
