2018 Beringer Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

James Suckling: 98 points

Wild blackberry, cassis, dark chocolate, tobbaco and dark spice on the nose. Dried violets, too. It's medium-to full-bodied with firm, powdery tannins and creamy texture. Intense, yet restrained and refined, with a solid core of dark berries and bitter chocolate. Really focused and crafted with exemplary Napa cabernet character. Try from 2024.
