2002 Benziger Sonoma County CABERNET SAUVIGNON

A very pleasant, but not very serious, Cabernet. Deep blackish, brickish ruby. Rich nose of cigar box and milk chocolate, with plummy blackberry fruit in the background. Round, soft, earthy/plummy flavors are very nice, but don't last long and aren't that complex. Full-bodied, but lacking concentration and length. A decent enough wine for casual occasions. 85. Don't know how much it costs because it was a gift, but I think I've seen it around for about $14.
