Tasting notes
Beringer Vineyards' Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 1999 is a standout from California's Napa Valley, you know. Beringer is a storied name in American winemaking, known for its tradition and history, and this bottle is a testament to that legacy. It's crafted primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon, with a touch of Merlot, creating a complex and profound flavor profile.
In Volume 22 of 'Drops of God', this wine was savored by Shizuku and Laurent aboard the Napa Valley Wine Train. When they tasted this wine, it evoked the majestic presence of a buffalo, full of power. Among Napa Valley wines, its mineral complexity stands out, with its full-bodied richness and a spicy edge that's quite remarkable.
The wine displays a deep garnet color, evolving towards brick with age. Its bouquet is open, revealing layers of cassis, black cherry, intertwined with dried herbs and spices. On the palate, rich fruitiness unfolds, with strong tannins that firmly coat the tongue. The acidity is robust, giving the wine a solid structure overall.
The finish is long, with lingering mineral notes and spice that make you want to take another sip. To truly enjoy this, a large glass is ideal, and it maintains its balance even when slightly chilled. Give it a try.
