about this wine:
The Beringer Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is the utmost expression of each vintage and the terroir of the Napa Valley. The collaboration between winemaking and viticulture has been at the core of the Private Reserve program since the first vintage crafted by Ed Sbragia in 1977. Today, Winemaker Laurie Hook draws on her rich experience of working alongside Ed for over two decades as she blends only the best lots from these outstanding vineyards. Each vineyard is aged separately in new French oak for two years before blending, resulting in a wine of great elegance and structure.

Beautifully vibrant color for a 34 year old wine-medium red core with a slightly lighter red rim which becomes orange at the very outer edge. Perfumed Bordeaux-like aromas of red cherry emerge, followed by cedar, spice box, tobacco and graphite. Persistent and elegant with the silky tannins which are completely integrated, the finish is subtle and refined. This wine is still very much alive. In fact it is vibrant and fresh in its secondary stage and could easily be mistaken for a mid-1980s Margaux, maybe Palmer. The provenance is perfect so drink now or over the next few years.
