Ruby-red. Cherry, redcurrant, plum, lead pencil and loam on the nose. Almost magically sweet, deep and lush for the vintage, with spicy red fruit flavors framed by harmonious, ripe acids. At once gentle and gripping. Finishes very long, with big, sweet tannins. Beringer has a lot of fruit sources to draw from for its Private Reserve bottling, and as a result Sbragia has been able to transcend this difficult vintage with a wonderfully sweet, lush Cabernet.
