- On the nose, it is mediocre. There is a very rich berry aroma to it, but it's nearly overpowered by an oaky/petrol smell. On tasting, however, the oak becomes quite subdued, giving way to berry and spice flavors. Texture-wise, the tannins aren't overpowering, giving it a slightly astringent texture, but a negligible astringency. The aftertaste I like simply because it's not a bad aftertaste. In fact, it's quite mild, lacking really. While this lack of a complex aftertaste isn't necessarily desirable, it is, quite obviously, much better than suffering through read more...

- Excellent value, rich but not overly oaky.

- The Beringer Founders Estate Cabernet bursts with brightcassis, black fruit and sweet brown spice aromas with just a touchof vanilla that leads into a juicy mouthfeel. A balanced dose ofstructured tannins and its long finish make this unmistakably aCalifornia Cabernet. However, this Cabernet doesn't need to becellared; it's ready to drink now.

- To achieve its well-balanced rich cherry and berry character, this wine was aged in small French and American Oak barrels. Match it with hearty pasta, pork and roast beef.
