Benziger’s high-end Pinot Noir, Quintus, is probably the finest red I’ve ever tasted from this first-rate Sonoma County producer. Exhibiting pristine fruit purity, impressive palate weight and exquisite balance, it is a triumph worthy of a Grand Cru Burgundy. Showing aromas of cherry and raspberry, with a gentle note of wood spice, this is a California Pinot Noir that lives up to its lofty price. A Platinum Award winner at the 37th San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
