2019 Benevolent Neglect Red Blend Massa Vineyard

Indulge in the extraordinary with Benevolent Neglect's 2019 Massa Vineyard Red Blend, a wine that exudes character and soul. Crafted by esteemed winemaker Matt Nagy, this blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot is a testament to his dedication to producing exceptional wines with minimal intervention.

Since starting out in 2013, Matt Nagy and Ben Brenner have created one of the most promising new ventures in all of American wine. Their Benevolent Neglect cuvée is inspired by the Southern Rhône, although the dominance of Mourvèdre (50%) makes us think of Château de Beaucastel more than classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape—and it delivers pleasure on par with that iconic bottle. 

With a nod to the classic Bordeaux style, this wine is a true delight. Rich yet balanced, it offers layers of flavor including vanilla, spice, and beautifully nuanced dark berry fruits. The cool Carmel vineyard site imparts delicate floral notes, adding to its complexity.

Paired perfectly with dishes like Stir Fried Flank Steak, this wine promises to elevate any dining experience.

Behind Benevolent Neglect are two passionate East Coast transplants turned California winemakers, Matt Nagy and Ben Brenner. Drawing from their diverse experiences, they employ a philosophy of minimal intervention in winemaking, allowing the vineyard's natural beauty to shine through.

Located in the picturesque Carmel Valley, the Massa Vineyard is meticulously tended to by Ian Brand, ensuring the highest quality grapes for this exceptional blend.

Inspired by old-world blends, this wine offers a unique expression of the classic Bordeaux style. Rejecting the notion that bigger is always better, it presents a more nuanced, lithe interpretation that captivates the senses.
