Martha Stoumen produces a range of delicious, organic wines in Northern California. Benchlands is reminiscent of a Cerasuolo—somewhere between a dark rosé and a light red wine, highlighted by floral aromatics and a bright, fruitful core. This fascinating 6 grape blend from Mendocino  has notes of blackberries, sour cherry, plum skin, violets and white pepper, leading into silky tannins and a lovely long finish. Drink lightly chilled.
