Beringer Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon(1993)
For statisticians, 44% came from the Steinhauer Vineyard, 1% from Bancroft Ranch, 17% from Rancho del Oso, 3% from Chabot, 13% from St. Helena Home Ranch, 0% from Quarry Vineyard, and the balance from Marston Vineyard. Large-scaled yet elegant, it boasts classic notes of creme de cassis, chocolate, and smoky oak. With extraordinary voluptuousness, great concentration, tremendous intensity, and a finish that lasts nearly 60 seconds, this saturated purple-colored, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the greatest wines ever made at Beringer. It is a tribute to the brilliant Ed Sbragia.

- This is a remarkable wine for an undervalued vintage. Aromas of ripe blackberry, licorice, and toasty oak. It remains quite concentrated, with amazing depth and complexity.

- Powerful fruit on the nose. Good fine fruit on the palate; rich with lots of finesse and a good length.
