The vineyard composition of this Cornerstone Cellars Benchlands Cabernet Sauvignon changes a little each year, giving the ability to make the best wine possible utilizing the best vineyards on the valley floor. Each vintage has a base of Coombsville Cabernet Sauvignon grown by a small family farm. Cornerstone Cellars also includes Cabernet Sauvignon from Rutherford and Oakville along with a touch of Cabernet Franc from the illustrious Oakville Station.

This classic Napa Valley Cabernet is at home as a fine dining companion or at the backyard BBQ. Balance and finesse are the foundation, with a complex medley of both fruit driven and earthy notes. There is a hint of licorice, along with cassis, black cherry, dark chocolate, and sweet umami. The well-integrated tannins linger on the finish. This wine is ready now, but you will be rewarded with a little time in the cellar.

A classic expression of Napa Cab, the wine easily pairs with favorite carnivorous dishes such as prime rib, short ribs and filet mignon.
