Bennett Lane 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- Cellar Selection
- $55
Very ripe, dense and concentrated. Although it’s totally dry, the wine shows massive, sweet flavors of blackberry and cherry fruit. Impresses for sheer power, as well as the length of finish. Cellar this youthful beauty for 6–7 years and see what it does.

Bennett Lane 2007 Maximus Red Feasting Wine (Napa Valley)
- $35
Tastes dramatic and youthfully vital, with fat, fleshy flavors of blackberries, cassis, mocha and sweet cedar, as well as a mineral tang that grounds them. Very upscale and refined, a pure product of superior terroir and winemaking.

Bennett Lane 2008 Lynch Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Calistoga)
- Cellar Selection
- $125
A very rich, dry Cabernet, marked by dusty tannins, and with flavors of blackberries, dark chocolate, sweet herbs and green olives. Very fine in the mouth, clearly a wine with pedigree, but it needs time. Hold until 2014.

Bennett Lane 2008 Maximus Red (Napa Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $35
This is one of the best red wines at this price in California. A Bordeaux blend with a splash of Syrah, it’s so rich and opulent, it just dazzles from start to finish. Floods the mouth with sweet cherries, raspberries, milk chocolate and red licorice, yet gets structure from firm tannins and bracing acidity. Lives up to its name, a Cabernet-based wine to feast on…

Bennett Lane 2008 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- Cellar Selection
- $95
A distinguished Cabernet, rich in fruit and impeccably oaked. But it’s young. There’s a fresh, jammy taste to the blackberries, cassis and dark chocolate, and the tannins are brisk and fuzzy. Don’t drink it until at least 2015, and it should develop for years afterward.

Bennett Lane 2007 Syrah (Napa Valley)
- $47
Soft and decadently delicious, this easy to like Syrah has flavors of cherries, bacon, mocha, black pepper and sandalwood. The tannins are pure Napa, velvety soft and complex. Drink now.

Bennett Lane 2007 Reserve Chardonnay (Carneros)
- Online Exclusive
- $45
A beautiful Chardonnay, creamy, dry and elegant. There’s a tangy minerality underlying the rich tropical fruit, apple, pear and buttered toast flavors. This is an elegant and sophisticated wine from the Carneros region.

Bennett Lane 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $55
Made in a style to appeal to the popular taste for Cabernet, and succeeds wildly. It’s delicious, offering waves of blackberries, cherries and plums, wrapped in firm, ripe tannins and finished with smoky oak. No mere fruit bomb, it’s a complex wine with a long, spicy finish. Drink now–2014.
