WINE ENTHUSIAST December 15, 2008
92 POINTS: 2004 Phenomenon "Super-Napan" Estate Napa Valley
"A distinguished wine… The flavors are myriad and complex, ranging from
currants and cherries through anise and plum sauce to the smoky cedar of
the oak barrels in which it was aged. Drink now, with decanting, and through 2012.
Cabernet, Sangiovese, Merlot and Syrah."
91 POINTS: 2005 Sangiovese
"Benessere’s Sangiovese tests the limits of the variety’s ability to thrive in Napa
Valley, with good results year after year.The ‘05 is dry and intricate, with ripe,
complex flavors of cherries with the bitter skins and red currants. Refined tannins
provide structural integrity."
