2020 Benchland Select Cabernet Sauvignon 1.5L

Napa Valley

This 2020 Benchland Select Cabernet reflects a more defined and focused style within the range. Presented in large format, it’s polished and confident—an ideal choice for occasions that call for something a step above.

The 2020 Benchland Select shows an opaque ruby hue in the glass, opening with jammy dark fruit notes of blueberry and plum. With time, notes of cigar box, dried oregano, and forest floor emerge. On the palate, this Cabernet segues from dark fruit notes to savory undertones, while showing off a silky texture. Full-bodied and dense in structure, the wine’s long finish is driven by firm tannins plus hints of cocoa and vanilla.

This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon comes from a blend of vineyard sites located on the benchlands of the Napa Valley floor—including Hill Ranch, which surrounds the Rutherford home of Jack and Dolores Cakebread. These sites are considered world-class areas for Cabernet Sauvignon because of their distinctive bale loam soils. These soils are well-draining yet retain water around the vine roots, resulting in small, concentrated berries capable of producing powerful, long-lived wines. The vineyards behind the Benchlands Select Cabernet Sauvignon lie on the Western edge of Napa Valley so they experience cooler overall temperatures, allowing the grapes to retain vibrant acidity and yield balanced, multifaceted wines.
The 2020 vintage began with a mild winter and long spring, setting up our vines for a warm season. Consistently high summer temperatures coupled with drought conditions led to a naturally small and high-quality harvest of deeply colored and concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon ideal for cellaring.
