The score for 1997 Cakebread Cellars Benchland Select Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is 90 from Wine Spectator and the tasting note - Wonderful integration of ripe, spicy black cherry, plum, currant and herbal notes, picking up a candied cherry and mocha nuance, before firming up on the finish. The score for 2001 Cakebread Cellars Benchland Select Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is 92 from Wine Enthusiast and the tasting note - The big '1s are still rolling out. This one's very fine and Oakville-y, showing well-oaked, lush black currant and cassis fruit, with a cocoa finish. It has soft, intricately sweet tannins. It's quite delicious now, but seems balanced enough to age through the medium term.
