About Beringer Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2018:

• Tasting Notes:

Fresh, ripe berry notes of blackberry, black cherry, crème de cassis and dark plum all combine, offering a plush, juicy, mouthwatering character that is very approachable in its youth.

Complex layers of wild bramble berry fruit, wild violets and notes of cocoa powder, dark chocolate, graphite and tobacco spice, from the well-integrated oak, seamlessly are interwoven with the full-bodied ripe tannins, supporting a firm structure with balanced acidity, leading to a long, persistent, textured finish

• Barrel Selection:

Aged 18 months in new French oak (90% new)

• Growing Notes:

Welcomed winter rain in January and February of 2018 eased long drought conditions. After a relatively wet winter, both bud break and flowering occurred later than average. Under ideal weather conditions, creating plentiful and even fruit set. Warm summer temperatures with generous sun exposure moderated by cool marine influences in the mornings and evenings. Allowed for a long summer growing season, virtually uninterrupted by any major heat spikes.

The mild summer run was followed by extended fall sunshine with moderate heat and no early rains. Creating near-ideal conditions to allow fruit extended hang time for gradual ripening, increase sugar levels and flavor complexity development.

• Winemaking Notes:

Vineyard lots harvested and vinified separately Aged 18 months in new French oak (90% new), 16 months in bottle
