Beringer Vineyards, Private Reserve, Cabernet Sauvignon --Vintage 1992 Napa Valley In original wooden case "With the exception of a chunky, overly-oaked Pinot Noir, it is impossible to find anything less than top-flight at Beringer, with many of the firm's wines undeniably special. With respect to Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, Beringer could teach a few things to some of its neighbors, as these varietals soar to the heights of quality at this winery. Beringer's most glorious red wines are their three estate wines, the Bancroft Vineyard Merlot, the Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, and their limited production (800-1000 cases), blockbuster Chabot Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. The Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon always includes small amounts of Bancroft Vineyard Merlot and 1525 Chabot Vineyard Cabernet. Since the mid-eighties, it has consistently been one of California's most exhilarating Cabernets. Upcoming vintages include truly spectacular wines in 1992, 1993, and 1994. The opaque-colored 1992 exhibits a huge, chocolatey, smoky nose crammed with gobs of black fruits, This soft, voluptuously-textured, full-bodied wine boasts remarkable concentration and purity. It is a round, flattering, luscious style of Cabernet Sauvignon that will be hard to resist when young. It should keep for 15+ years. Beringer has once again proven that they are one of the qualitative leaders in California as they continue to turn out reference point wines - not only for California, but the world."
