2001 Beringer Vineyards Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 3L Wine dark purple-colored 1998 Pinot Noir

dark purple-colored 1998 Pinot Noir Kistler Vineyard

I clearly underrated this last year

While not a second wine in the traditional sense

The tannins are extremely polished and refined

closing with a pleasantly bitter tinge and gently grippy tannins that frame the experience so well

2001 Beringer Vineyards Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 3L Wine dark purple-colored 1998 Pinot Noir"Just hitting late adolescence, this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon cuvee exhibits an opaque dark purple color along with a beautiful, smoky, sweet black currant, licorice, truffle, toast and underbrush scented nose. With fabulous concentration, great intensity and tremendous purity, this voluptuously textured, full bodied classic is one of the all time great Beringer Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignons." 97 100 Wine Advocate
