I do not understand the hype on this bottle - it’s a good wine for 40 bucks but not much more.

I drink a 2008 not so long ago and it seem overprice for what it is - not this one - Is really good and don't wait - I don't believe is going to get better. Iodine - Black cherry, well balance!
The wine looks inky colored. The legs are slow. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like black currant (cassis), prune and espresso.

Black inky look with a smell of Sweet Blackberries and violet with some toasty oak- Goes down at first Velvety with a little of grip aftertaste - probably will smooth out in a few years. This is better than expected and drinkable at the moment - did not decant!

Taste it by the glass at La Spiaggia in Chicago - great wine - no formal notes but the chocolate notes were great - no acidity and I am buying more in this wine. For the price I will give it a Mid Ninty Score!

Wow, one of the best montelenas I ever had (better than 97 in my opinion) Great mature taste of tabacco and lether; the aftertaste is long and delicious. Similar to a great Dunn from Howell Mt.

I was my second Bottle with consistent disappointing notes- Its a good wine with great balance that has not a distinctive flavor on it - I usually love RM REV Cab but the 06 that not give justice to its heritage. This is a good wine for $30 not $90.

2006 Beringer Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve

Napa Valley more

12/28/2012 - sgamiz wrote: NR

Beringer reserve has been one of my favorite wines of al time - I normally wait 10 years to drink a bottle (from Vintage). This one it seems a good wine but nothing special. If I had drink this bling I would not guess this is a wine of such pedigree. I hope, with time, it develops to a better example of B Reserve.
