Beringer, Collection Cabernet Sauvignon, California

in appearance, an intense ruby , with long tears. The nose is medium plus - initially of cassis and vanilla , opening out with a couple of hours aeration into red cherries, menthol, stewed plums, chocolate, thyme, and vanilla. On the palate , acidity is medium with flavours of plums, cherries, chocolate, cocoa, leading into a medium finish. This isn't Napa Cab - but is a characterful, well-made wine , that showcases typicity of grape and region. A great qpr, …

It has a basic earthy character of cabernet sauvignon and has a good basic structure. Very ripe, fruity and sweet cherry and plum, but it's slightly too sweet. Smooth texture. Easy drinking. Good quality to price ratio.

Night with the boyz at Chez Tolerico (Chez Tolerico) : Tastes like koolaid with tree bark... Just not that good. I'm turning the remaining part of the bottle into vinegar for cooking...
