Napa Valley Register"One of the biggest hits was the Benessere 2006 Rosato, made from sangiovese and merlot. It’s a stunning wine, and it’s $14." Wine Enthusiast2004 Sangiovese - 90 points - "This is one of Benessere’s more promising efforts with Sangiovese." Sante2004 Phenomenon & 2005 Sangiovese Reviews San Francisco Chronicle2006 Pinot Grigo - "It's the best bottle of wine labeled 'Pinot Grigio' in this country."
Wine Enthusiast2005 Pinot Grigio - "Cool Carneros is turning out to be one of the best homes for serious PGs in the state, as evidenced by this and other examples." San Francisco Chronicle2005 Pinot Grigio - "We tasted 52 California Pinot Gris and Grigios for today and came up with these recommendations (top 15)." Robert Parker's Wine Advocate2004 BK Collins Old Vines Zinfandel & 2004 Black Glass Zinfandel - 90 Points - "Two outstanding efforts" Dan Berger's Vintage Experiences2002 Benessere Sangiovese - "very tasty red wine" Santa Barbara IndependantThe Phenomenal Wines of Chris Dearden Sante2002 Sangiovese - "Medium to full bodied with rich, ripe, and concentrated black cherry and plum plus hints of lavender, privet, and cocoa beans..."

Wine Enthusiast2003 Benessere Syrah - "Limited production (under 200 cases), but worth seeking out." San Francisco Chronicle2003 BK Collins Old Vines Zinfandel - "A Taste of History" ...Old-vine Zinfandel tastes and smells so different than Zins from younger vines that it could be a different grape. In picking my favorites, I looked for secondary characteristics, rather than the straightforward fruit of younger-vine Zins.

Wine Enthusiast2001 Benessere Sangiovese - "While others have given up on this finicky variety, Benessere perseveres, with good results." EventsShow Past Events |
