1994 Beringer, Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 1x750ml

Vinous 91

(14.4% alcohol): Deep medium red. Reticent but complex aromas of redcurrant, plum, minerals and dried flowers. Broad, dry and rather backward; an old-fashioned Napa Cabernet with strong minerality and a restrained sweetness. Finishes with substantial dusty tannins. Decant this if you plan to open it anytime soon. [Stephen Tanzer, 01/07/2015]

Anticipated maturity: 2017-2026

The 1994 Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve is a profound example of California Cabernet Sauvignon – super-rich, gorgeously pure, very ripe, with an unctuous texture, admirable purity, and a huge presence and length on the palate. Cabernet Sauvignon just does not get much better! Tel. (707) 963-7115 [Robert M. Parker, Jr., 04/26/1996]
