2013 | Benziger Family | Tribute Estate Grown

The 2013 Tribute is rich in intensity, the nose awakens with aromas of ripe plum, black cherry and sweet tobacco. Dark fruit drives the entry as layers of coffee, vanilla, herb and spice, trigger each zone on the palate. Rich, smooth, and full-bodied, this wine has well developed, mouth-coating tannins, making this wine complex, yet very approachable.
