The Benovia Pinot Noir (2019) opens with an inviting bouquet that immediately signals elegance. On the palate, it is silky and refined, carrying a texture that glides effortlessly across the tongue. The medium acidity provides balance, keeping the wine lively without overwhelming its softer qualities.

Flavors unfold in layers: dark berry notes—think blackberry and black cherry—form the core, offering richness and depth. These fruit tones are complemented by hints of baking spice, adding warmth and complexity that linger through the finish. Together, the fruit and spice creates a pleasing profile that is approachable and sophisticated.

The Benovia Pinot Noir’s structure is graceful, with tannins that are gentle yet supportive, allowing the flavors to shine without harshness. Its finish is long and smooth, leaving behind a memory of ripe fruit and a whisper of spice.

Overall, this is a lovely Pinot Noir! And I recommend it. — 8 months ago

Beautiful, could easily pass as Premier Cru Burgundy. 50 year old vines of Mass Selection clones. Iron and Mineral aromatics create a lovely frame for the beautiful Sonoma fruit. Great site. — 7 years ago
