Beringer Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 1985

A fully mature Beringer Private Reserve from an exceptional vintage. The iconic Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is the pinnacle of the Beringer wine range. It was introduced by former Beringer winemakers Ed Sbragia and Myron Nightingale in 1977 with the intention of producing the finest Cabernet in Napa. "Sexy aromas of redcurrant, raspberry, truffle, underbrush and flint. Sweet and a bit wild, showing terrific retention of candied raspberry and plum fruit. This concentrated wine is a step up in texture and depth of fruit from the earlier vintages. Strong but integrated acidity gives it definition and lift, with the long finish showing broad, tongue-dusting tannins." Vinous, 2015
