description: Like all of Beringer's 2001 gold letter single-vineyard Cabs, this one is a cellar laydown. It's hard in tannins now, a dry wine that leaves the palate rasping because it's so astringent. Yet the fruit is gigantically ripe, flooding the mouth with blackberries and cherries that are the essence of those fruits. With all that ripeness, the acidity is crisp and fine. Drink 2008–2020.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: Bancroft Ranch
