| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.4 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 16 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by BigBoy_Sonoma on 3/5/2021 & rated 95 points: Big fruit, spice, herbal notes, pepper, leather, hints of eucalyptus, finishes with some oak. Tannins are smooth. This is still big wine, quintessential bowel mountain. Definitely would cellar another 10 years!!! (803 views) | | | Tasted by mflesh on 1/29/2020 & rated 94 points: One of the best SVD Beringer I've had in a while. It says everything from dark roasted black and blue fruits on the nose and entry. Mulling spices, chocolate, Espresso bean. Very dense. Tannin has resolved slightly, giving a little more depth and roasted character and black pepper spice to the finish. Gonna seek out more of these SVD Beringer Cabs. The prices for current releases are a little bit unrealistic IMO, but these can be found on the secondary market for extremely competitive prices.

A- (950 views) | | | Tasted by mflesh on 10/15/2017 & rated 92 points: 2000th rating, and a rather nice one to rate. This wine is beautiful on the third day, and just starting to show some of its classic vanilla wafer, blueberry and herbal core. Lots of blue fruit and vanilla here. Nose has more of a tar and black fruit note, but the palate is a bit different. This wine is kind of in a strange place tonight, but still went great with dinner. The best years of this wine's life is ahead of it. 2017-2027 (1479 views) | | | Tasted by BigBoy_Sonoma on 10/14/2017 & rated 91 points: Dark fruit, spice, pepper, herbal notes, smokey oak. Nice complexity. A- (1358 views) | | | Tasted by tomoem on 10/24/2016 & rated 93 points: Black fruit aromatics emerge from the glass at pouring. First flavors of the wine also has hints of lead pencil. The palette is slightly closed and has a peppery start which gives way to blackberry fruit. The wine is youthful and could certainly improve but it was really pleasing tonight. (1314 views) | | | Tasted by lachord on 1/31/2016 & rated 92 points: While young, there is a lot of fruit, berries and plum. Open early to determine if heat damaged. Fortunately, it was very, very good, but I would like some more aging. (1252 views) | | | Tasted by rknobles@comcast.net on 1/30/2016 & rated 92 points: Excellent wine. Took to NYC and paired with a dry-aged, bone-in ribeye at a landmark steakhouse. (1184 views) | | | Tasted by BigBoy_Sonoma on 8/3/2015 & rated 93 points: balckberries, herbal tea, minerals, graphite, acidity. Wine is youthful. a-/a (1134 views) | | | Tasted by BigBoy_Sonoma on 12/27/2014 & rated 93 points: Blackberries, plums, Asian team pepper, Minerality, smokey oak. a- (1402 views) | | | Tasted by wmccone54 on 10/30/2013 & rated 91 points: Winery tasting. Big aromas of ripe plum, vanilla, and dark berries. Similar on the palate, but showing some added tobacco and earthy notes at mid-palate. Rounded tannic structure for a young wine and the complexity makes it very approachable. Strong finish. (1599 views) | | | Tasted by BigBoy_Sonoma on 9/21/2013 & rated 93 points: Blackberries, cherries, blueberries, tobacco, spice, little minerality, supple tannins which balance the fruit, good mouth feel, the smokey oak is well integrated.

| Beringer Vineyards Producer websiteCabernet SauvignonCabernet Sauvignon is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth. It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley. Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices and cedarwood.
Used as frequently in blends as in varietal wines, Cabernet Sauvignon has a large number of common blending partners. Apart from the obvious Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the most prevalent of these are Malbec, Petit Verdot and Carmenere (the ingredients of a classic Bordeaux Blend), Shiraz (in Australia's favorite blend) and in Spain and South America, a Cabernet – Tempranillo blend is now commonplace. Even the bold Tannat-based wines of Madiran are now generally softened with Cabernet SauvignonUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Napa Valley Napa Valley Wineries and Wine (Napa Valley Vintners)Howell Mountain Howell Mountain |
