This vintage of Beringer Private Reserve is a muscular brut of a cabernet that will no doubt be going strong and getting better 25 years from now. With massive layers of rich black fruits and robust tannins, it’s big but beautifully balance, never losing the elegance for which this wine is historically famous. Buy a case and hide it somewhere for at least another ten years! Platinum award-winner at the 2016 Sommelier Challenge International Wine Competition.
