A wonderfully mature Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from a rarely seen vintage. A beautifully made red showcasing the quintessential profile of an aged Californian Cabernet. Sold in magnificent large format.

Vinous
(13.7% alcohol; 8% Chabot, 9% St. Helena, 27% Bancroft, 52% Tre Colline and 4% Cabernet Franc): Good full, deep red. Aromas of redcurrant, dried flowers, truffle and camphor. In this dry, warm year featuring an early harvest, Beringer used almost all mountain fruit to make its Private Reserve. Still a bit clenched in the mouth owing to slightly spiky acidity on entry, but the middle palate reveals strong mineral and brambly berry flavors. Just a tad tart on the back end. Will this wine eventually absorb its acidity and soften in bottle? I'm not sure.Stephen Tanzer1st July 2015
