Napa Valley.

WA 94

BERINGER CABERNET SAUVIGNON PRIVATE RESERVE 1991 (1 mag.)

Napa Valley.
u. vts. soiled scraped label

With sweet tannin, a full-bodied mouthfeel and incredible purity as well as youthfulness, this wine has another 15-20 years of life left in it. If this were a Bordeaux, one would think it was 8-10 years old, not two decades. There are no hard edges, and the seamless integration of all the component parts make it one of the prodigious Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserves to drink now as well as over the next 20 years. May 2011 Drink: 2011-2031 WA 96

BERINGER CABERNET SAUVIGNON PRIVATE RESERVE 1994 (2)

Napa Valley.
u. 2 x bn. 1 x wrinkled label

A stunning, seamless Cabernet Sauvignon, it boasts abundant notes of white chocolate, creme de cassis, woodsmoke, spice box, licorice and forest floor, superb concentration, a full-bodied mouthfeel, sweet, integrated tannin and admirable youthfulness as well as freshness. This is one of the most Bordeaux-like wines in this vertical, with the lead pencil shavings and scorched earth characteristics pointing toward a Graves style. This beauty will continue to drink well for another two decades. May 2011 Drink: 2011-2031 WA 97
