Beringer Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

Professional Ratings

• 93 Tasting Panel
  Lush and dense with dark plum and rich notes of oak, vanilla, tar and chocolate; ripe, full-bodied yet supple and elegant; rich, long and stylish with great aging potential.
• 92 Wine Spectator
  Patience required for this taut, dense, focused effort, with layers of mineral, cedar, dried berry, black licorice and espresso. Shows great structure and focus, yet this is very tight and backward now. Best from 2013 through 2023.
• 92 Wine Enthusiast
  There's a dusty, tannic dryness to this wine that makes it tough to drink now. Deep down inside is a ripe core of blackberries, as juicy and sweet as if they were freshly picked on a hot summer day. All the signs are that this Cabernet is ageable. Give it until 2015 and see what it’s doing.
