Benziger Family Winery Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 Review
This is a great, cheap Sonoma Cab. It’s the kind of wine you buy just to have on hand. It’s big, but balanced by good acidity, and the oak is well-integrated, not taking over everything. Weeknight steak? Weekend pork grill? Check. Evening chill? Set.
