Bench
Bench produces wines from Alexander Valley, Sonoma County's warmth-blessed corner of the North Coast. The winery focuses on three core varietals: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Merlot. The Pinot Noir leads the portfolio, showing the varietal's characteristic balance of structure and elegance in a region known for ripe, expressive fruit. Chardonnay and Merlot round out the range, each reflecting Alexander Valley's capacity for full-bodied, well-integrated wines. Wine Enthusiast has rated the portfolio, with the Pinot Noir earning particular recognition. The winery's selections sit squarely in the California North Coast tradition—approachable, fruit-forward, and built for the table.
