Beringer Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

For nearly 150 years, Beringer has been making waves in California. Brothers Frederick and Jacob Beringer emigrated from Germany to the United States. They immediately recognized California's potential as a wine region. They founded Beringer Winery in Napa Valley in 1876. Operating for nearly a century and a half, they are one of the largest wineries in the world. They have also been continuously active, making them the oldest winery in Napa Valley. Thanks to their experience, they possess a wealth of knowledge. It's no wonder, then, that this Beringer Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon was awarded "Wine of the Year."

The vineyards of Beringer

Breathtaking. Just walking into Beringer Winery will leave you speechless. The Beringer brothers' German heritage is clearly evident in the winery's architecture. In our opinion, the winery's exterior is the most beautiful in all of California. Because Beringer owns many vineyards, the quality is astronomically high. It's no wonder this Beringer Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon was named No. 1 Wine of the Year in 1990. Since receiving this award, Beringer has strived to achieve this high quality every year.

The grape varieties for this Beringer make for a golden trio. The characteristic Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot grapes are what make this red wine such a resounding success. They deliver a distinctive aroma and an exquisite palate. It is pure perfection, a liquid delight. We keep adding superlatives, because everything about this red wine is fantastic. You smell distinct aromas of ripe blackberry, spices, and sweet mint. A hint of tobacco makes you incredibly curious about this wine. The taste is sublime. Wow, wow, wow. You taste complex notes of espresso, mocha, and refined tannins. The finish is like velvet.
