Benziger Family Winery

Our Arbore Sacra embodies a classic Pinot Noir with aromatics of cranberry and spice. Layers of earth with a hint of strawberry on the nose. Smooth tannins apparent on entry, develop across the mid-palate with a bright finish. A powerful yet elegant wine that will mature gracefully.

This blend was sourced from the steepest slope on our ranch, a challenge even for our 30+ year vineyard verteran, Joaquin Corona. Take in stewed raspberry on the nose. Bright plum, strawberry jam and red licorice flavors settle on the palate while well-structured tannins with warm pepper on the finish weave a lasting impression.

Round and silky with gentle tannins, Terra Neuma exhibits floral aromas with notes of ripe cranberry, raspberry and pomegranate. Bold masculine nuances with integrated acidity round out through the palate with black pepper and candied cherry on the finish. This wine’s elegance will continue to blossom over time.

A Bordeaux blend full of grace and power. A fruit forward and juicy entry with silk and velvet across the palate, followed by a long and engaging finish. An authentic and honest interpretation of Sonoma Mountain fruit layered with earthy notes. Present tannins are poised for aging.

Vibrant and alive. This Bordeaux blend is approachable, beginning with its juicy entry. Aromas of licorice, berries and dark cocoa mirror nicely on the palate. A rich fruit forward mouthfeel with smooth, well-structured tannins for a refined overall finish.

Our 2016 Oonapais features a juicy entry with aromas of concentrated marionberry and dark chocolate on the palate for a bold wine yet soft tannins. Notes of bold fruit layered with earl grey tea and vanilla on the finish.
