Twenty Bench

Twenty-three years ago, this wine got it all started for Nine North Wine Co. when twenty tons of fruit came off the benchland in Napa Valley. Thus was born the name, Twenty Bench.

Napa Valley: Enjoys a dry Mediterranean climate which encompasses just 2% of the Earth's surface which translates to consistency vintage after vintage. Within the Napa Valley AVA there are several areas that possess distinct microclimates and terrain imprinting recognizable characteristics on the grapes grown there.

Sonoma: Has a variety of climate and soil conditions throughout the region. The difference in climate and soil means the cooler climate grapes grow well in certain regions and in others, warm climate grapes are more suitable, like Cabernet.
