Product details
Beringer Vineyards, established in 1876, stands as a testament to Napa Valley's rich winemaking heritage, being the region's longest continuously operating winery. The 2018 Beringer Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon exemplifies the winery's dedication to excellence. This vintage showcases a deeply saturated color, offering fresh, ripe berry notes of blackberry, black cherry, crème de cassis, and dark plum. These flavors coalesce to present a plush, juicy, and mouthwatering character, making the wine approachable in its youth yet promising continued reward with careful cellaring.
On the palate, the 2018 Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon reveals a substantial backbone and structure, hallmarks of this exceptional vintage. The wine's rich depth and elegance are complemented by fine, balanced tannins and a generous core of bright acidity. This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs wonderfully with aged cheddar or Parmigiano-Reggiano, as the bold and complex flavors of these cheeses harmonize with the wine's expressive layers of dark berry fruits and subtle spice notes.
