Tribute Wines Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 Review
The Benzinger family came to California from New York, landing in wine country in the early 70s. It was tough work back then, buying vineyards and making it all happen before the Judgement of Paris (1976) blew the state wide open. Their passion was wine for wine’s sake. Making the best and farming sustainably was the goal. Today, the family has expanded into the Tribute wines and the Cab is a straight success. It’s very affordable and very balanced. It has a comforting earthy nose with soft plump fruit and a powerful mouthfeel with some grip on the edges of the palate. This wine drinks like a fifty-dollar Cab.
