Beringer Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Beringer Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

With each vintage of the acclaimed Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, the Beringer Winemaker chooses the best lots from our reserve vineyards in the Napa Valley, each of which demonstrates a remarkable expression of terroir. Beringers extraordinary collection of vineyards is the result of a significant and decades-long relationship between viticulture and winemaking.

Rich, full-bodied, and deeply rewarding, this vintage expression is one for the ages (and aging). Notes of crme de cassis, black and blue fruits and baking spices frame flavors of ripe plum, dark cherry, and chocolate in a muscular yet exceedingly well balanced and elegant wine. A memorable, lingering finish continues to reveal multiple layers of complexity to be enjoyed over the next two decades.

Critical Acclaim

99 James Suckling

Breathtaking. Exceptional integration of super-ripe blackberries and the very finest oak. The tannins build up beautifully, forming wave upon wave as the wine flows across the palate. Then the wave breaks on your palate and shoots way out at the finish so that you wonder where it will end and normal life begins again. Needs time to soften, but this is so, so good. Give it two or three years.
