Taste profile

Decanter94 pts

The 2018 Benchlands Cabernet Sauvignon from Cornerstone presents a dark-fruited profile with layers of toasty oak, tobacco, earth, and pressed wild herbs and flowers, underscored by graphite minerality. Full-bodied with velvet-textured, fine-grained tannins, it finishes with mocha spices, offering length, depth, and a polished expression of Napa Valley Cabernet.

Wine Enthusiast92 pts

Brimming in cedar, dried herb and dill, this bold, full-bodied wine offers classic bursts of dust and red currant, both earthy and fruity in equal measure. Balanced in oak and tannin, it refreshes with persistent acidity that helps to contrast the richness and brawn.
