Courtney Benham 2012 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Diamond Mountain District)

Country: US / Reserve
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Courtney Benham / Diamond Mountain District

Musky in leather, tobacco and black tea, this wine is juicy in currant and cranberry before finishing a tad flat. From a robust mountain appellation, it’s surprisingly resolved in terms of tannin and the oak is relatively restrained.
