Nice perfumed nose filled with many layered aromas.
Ripe black cherry, blackberry and then raspberry are deftly balanced by light oak, tobacco, and graphite flavors. Finish lingers so nicely with delicious black cherry and raspberry and fresh acidity. Tannins are mostly integrated and this wine is drinking well.
Overall, better than expected, thought the wine club guys were pushing something not reserve level. That is not the case here. Drink now- 2023 for best results.

Tried it just to get feel for it. Decanted for an hour in advance but could have used more. Deep garnet color, aroma of boysenberry, chocolate, earth and flint. Very muscular structure, tight tannins, black fruit and complex flavor so. Needs at least 5 years for tannins to knit and soften. Should be very nice in time.

Beringer makes some great cabs and this one is at or near its peak. If you have it, drink it, if you don't, go find some; you deserve it!
