User Reviews for Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve
Add your reviewWonderful earthy cab with notes of oak and cedar. Shows that Beringer can make a cab with a sense of place and time and not just cookie cutter. Nice fine herbs and black fruit are more Bordeaux like than Napa Cab.
I tasted this wine on June 19, 2007. My notes were very sparse, but here goes: Intriguing nose of oak, dark chocolate, and plum. Tannins were mellowing, slight leather, light mouthfeel, long finish, but not silky smooth.

Bright medium ruby. Sexy, complex nose melds currant, black raspberry, dark chocolate, minerals, flowers and incense-like spices. Lush, sweet and tactile, with noteworthy depth and inner-mouth aromatic character to its black fruit, mineral and floral... Stephen Tanzers IWC. A Cabernet Sauvignon wine from California in USA. 2003 Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve 750ml
Pretty smoky, mocha-scented oak jazzes up the flavor, adding a measure of complexity to the lean band of vanilla-tinted currant, blackberry and mineral. Finishes with a long, persistent aftertaste. Wine Spectator. A Cabernet Sauvignon wine from California in USA. 2003 Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve 750ml
...this is a strong effort in a vintage that was not expected to perform as well as it did. The 2003 appears to have more potential longevity than the 2002. An elegant Cabernet, it reveals abundant notes of chocolate, black cherries, black currants a... Robert Parkers Wine Advocate. A Cabernet Sauvignon wine from California in USA. 2003 Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve 3000ml
Shiny, opaque red. Soft and pure nose with aromas of cedar, fall leaves, crème de cassis, ripe red plum, and French vanilla. Though still taut on the mid-palate, this is really invigorating, serious, and persistent. Coats the palate with complex flav... Cory Gowan. A Cabernet Sauvignon wine from California in USA. 2003 Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve 375ml
Cabernet Sauvignon Napa exhibits more cassis, earth, and tobacco characteristics than the Knight's Valley as well as a deeper style, good purity and richness, and medium to full body. Again, the overall impression is one of softness with enough wood to provide a pleasant spicy note.
Production: 12,500 cases; Alcohol: 14.1%; Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon; Harvest Dates: September 19 to October 28. Composed of 32% St. Helena Home Ranch fruit, 19% Steinhauer Ranch, 12% Marston Ranch, Bancroft Ranch and the balance a small amount f... Robert Parker's Wine Advocate.

Winemaker's Notes:
"14.1% 1 bottle 3/11/07 92 pts Wine Advocate. Dark Ruby color accompanied by a big, sweet nose of smoked meats, black currant jam, chocolate, pain grille, and espresso roast. Rich full-bodied, and deep with silky tannin and loads of length & concentration, it should drink well for 15-20 years." Vinifying the fruit from each vineyard separately, Ed Sbragia and his winemaking partner Laurie Hook used gentle pump-over techniques for optimal extraction, and then aged the wines in hand-selected, custom-toasted barrels of new French Nevers oak. The wines went through 100% malolactic fermentation for added complexity and softness, and were aged just over two years before Ed selected the Cabernet Sauvignon blend from seven different single-vineyards - 32% St. Helena Home Ranch, 19% Steinhauer Ranch, 12% Marston Vineyard, 12% Bancroft Ranch, 8% Quarry Vineyard, 6% Rancho del Oso, and 6% Chabot. Also added to the blend is a touch of Cabernet Franc (5%) from Bancroft and Steinhauer Ranches.
