6 Bottles from Beringer Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, 2016

With each vintage of the acclaimed Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, the Beringer Winemaker chooses the best lots from their reserve vineyards in the Napa Valley, each of which demonstrate remarkable expression of terroir. Beringer's extraordinary collection of vineyards is the result of a significant and decades-long relationship between viticulture and winemaking.

Tasting Note

Rich, full-bodied and deeply rewarding, this vintage expression is one for the ages (and aging). Notes of crème de cassis, black and blue fruits and baking spices frame flavors of ripe plum, dark cherry and chocolate in a muscular yet exceedingly well balanced and elegant wine. A memorable, lingering finish continues to reveal multiple layers of complexity to be enjoyed over the next two decades.

Vintage

After a relatively dry January significant rainfall arrived in February, along with mild temperatures. Bud break was early, but was slowed by heavy April showers. While still early by historical standards, picking began about a week later than 2015, and continued at a leisurely pace, allowing the grapes to reach full flavor maturity. The extended season helped to balance acids and add complexity to the layers of flavors. Warm temperatures arrived as harvest began, but ultimately, everything came together in the best possible way.

6 Bottles of Doubleback Estate Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Tasting Notes

For the first time, the Estate Reserve is not technically a Cabernet Sauvignon - staying true to the goal of this wine - crafting each vintage's very best red wine from our estate vineyards. Tobacco, leather, basalt, fresh soil after a summer rain, cedar, and blackberry. There are so many layers to this wine. Framed to be a touch larger than the Doubleback Cabernet, there is good fruit sweetness, beautiful fine grained tannin, and a sexy and lingering finish. If opening now, decant in the morning to enjoy that night, or cellar this wine through 2043.

Vintage Notes

The season started a tad later than in recent years and also had a more "normal" summer - meaning fewer heat spikes and more even ripening. On October 9th, the real defining moment of the vintage came when a fall frost event wiped out nearly all of eastern Washington and growers rushed to pick their fruit- Doubleback chose to wait it out. That decision paid off. The fruit was allowed to hang with perfect canopies and finished harvest on October 26th with Petit Verdot from McQueen.
