Benchlands Zinfandel Blend 2021

2021. Always a favorite! Lighter color and body than some of the previous vintages, but great fruit and a little tartness to pair great with pasta 🍝 β€” 2 months ago

$25 bottle that tastes like a $25 bottle. Silky and light with a good depth of flavor. β€” 5 years ago

Salus Estate Booth Bella Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

The MoM group had a rather large line-up of bottles this week, nearly a dozen strong, and not a dud in the lineup. That being said, this was one of three bottles that rose to the top. This arguably had the most interesting and enjoyable nose. A serious wine that would compliment a variety of meals. Impressive. β€” 6 years ago

Mendocino Benchlands Zinfandel-Nero d'Avola Blend 2019

2019. I really enjoyed the two bottles of this vintage I had in 2020, and glad I had one more in the cellar to pull out for National Pizza Day πŸ•!!!
I probably won’t age the 2021 & 2022 bottles I have this long as the β€œpop” of juicy red fruits is a little muted.

Benchlands Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Smells like synthetic firewood that someone burned some pretty flowers in. Would love to eat this with some olives. This just really makes me want to go camping. S’mores (not necessarily for pairing purposes as much as I just really want to relive my childhood) with a dash of this drinkable bottle would really ring in the summer on the right note. β€” 5 years ago
