Imagery 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon, California

The accolades for Imagery winemaker Jamie Benziger keep rolling in. She was named millennial vintner to watch on winebusiness.com, she was chosen by Wine Enthusiast Magazine as one of the Top 40 Under 40 Tastemakers of 2019, and she was chosen Best Woman Winemaker of the Year from the International Women’s Wine Competition!

Imagery is rooted in three decades of Sonoma Valley winemaking by the Benziger family. The line of Imagery wines celebrates traditional varietals enhanced with something a little outside the box. Take this Cabernet Sauvignon, it has the addition of 5% Petite Sirah adding spice and additional nuance.

A soft, smooth wine with well-integrated oak, flavors of dark fruit, black cherry, clove and cinnamon are met with cola and vanilla toast in the mid-palate. This opulent wine is enhanced with spice, clove and pepper notes from the Petite Sirah.
