Benziger Family Winery-Cabernet Sauvignon-Sonoma County-California-2007-$15.99-A nose of some fruit, thin aroma, garnet in color. A underwhelming Cab, with some blackberry, herb and oak, no complexity, a disappointment considering WE’s review. WS-80 WE-90 CR-83 Good as cooking wine.
MacMurray Ranch-Chardonnay-Sonoma Coast-California-2008-$14.98-A nose of citrus and some spice, medium golden in color. A medium bodied Chard, with melon, citrus, and a touch of vanilla, some acidity. Simple and average, a bit disappointing. NR CR-85 Good with seafood, chicken, salads.
