Score 87/100 · Robert Parker, Dec 2003
The 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon Benchland Select’s dark ruby/purple-hued color is accompanied by closed aromatics consisting of compost, damp earth, underbrush, spice, licorice, cherry, plum, and currant fruit. This earthy, terroir-driven, medium-bodied 1999 displays abundant tannin in the finish. If the tannin becomes better integrated, it will merit a score in the high eighties. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2018. Tel. (707) 963-5222; Fax (707) 963-1067
