BERINGER |
| Extremely deep intense purple colour. Intense, slightly spicy, ripe cherry-plum nose with some cedary, faint mocha-chocolate notes. Dry, medium-full bodied, quite well structured, dense, harmonious, ripe, bright, slightly spicy, somewhat baked ripe plum-cherry flavours with a lingering, slightly cedary, high acid finish. This blend of 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petite Sirah and 2% Malbec has a whopping 15% alcohol and 3 g/L residual sugar. A tad better than the 2013 (***) with 90-points released on November 12, 2016 at $69.95. TONY ASPLER / 91-points - Spicy plum nose with vanilla oak notes; full-bodied, dry, well-extracted black fruit and dark chocolate flavours with ripe tannins on the finish. |

| TASTING NOTE: This would be a straightforward Bordeaux red blend if not for the 5% Petite Sirah within. Together, it's 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 2% Malbec as well, sourced from Howell Mountain and valley floor sites. Dusty and herbal, the wine is thick and sizably tannic, with dense black fruit, leather and coffee. Cellar Selection. Score - 91 (Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast, June 1, 2017) |
