BERINGER CABERNET SAUVIGNON PRIVATE RESERVE 1995 (10) 96 WA
Lot 190 Details
BERINGER CABERNET SAUVIGNON PRIVATE RESERVE 1995
Napa.

Blend: 97% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Cabernet Franc; Harvest Dates: October 9 to November 16. Made from Bancroft Ranch (34%), Tre Colline (36%), Chabot (19%) and the rest from the St. Helena Home Vineyard, the 1995 is not as complex as the 1994, but it is loaded with fruit. Still an adolescent in its development, it possesses a dense purple color along with a big, sweet bouquet of blackberries and cassis, a youthful mouthfeel, good acidity, full body, abundant fruit and glycerin and a long, heady finish. This vintage was somewhat forgotten because of all the hype surrounding 1994, but it has turned out to be a great one for Bordeaux varietals in Napa. 96 WA


10 bts. per lot $1,400 - $1,700
