Soft, light in body and easy to drink, this Sangiovese, from the Napa estate vineyard, is delicious in raspberry, red currant, licorice, bacon and spice flavors. It’s somewhat ephemeral, an instantly pleasant wine to drink especially with cured meats, olives, hard cheeses. ——S.H.(9/1/2011)—— 87

Lots of savory cherry, coffee and herb flavors in this silky, somewhat tannic wine. It could show a bit more complexity, though, as it finishes a bit simple and sweet.——S.H.(12/15/2009)—— 85

Benessere’s Sangiovese tests the limits of the variety’s ability to thrive in Napa Valley, with good results year after year. The ’05 is dry and intricate, with ripe, complex flavors of cherries with the bitter skins and red currants. Refined tannins provide structural integrity. Best now through 2011.——S.H.(12/15/2008)—— 91
