Lot 512 Details
BERINGER CABERNET SAUVIGNON PRIVATE RESERVE 2014 (1)

Napa Valley, California.

The wine has an inky purple color, a big, sweet kiss of pen ink, graphite, cedar wood, licorice, blackberries and blackcurrants with some background oak, but it’s dominated by the fruit extract and the full-bodied richness and glycerin this wine possesses. The texture is open and lush, and the wine more forward and sexy than the 2013 was at a similar stage of development. It should drink well for 20-25 years, as these wines have an impeccable track record of ageability. December 2016 Drink to 2040 WA 95

BERINGER CABERNET SAUVIGNON PRIVATE RESERVE 2016 (1)

Napa Valley, California.

Full-bodied with a firm, chewy frame and loads of savory accents, it delivers a long, multilayered finish. 13,304 cases produced. October 2018 Drink to 2036 WA 95
