Wine of the Year 1990
BERINGER Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley Private Reserve 1986
Deliciously rich and concentrated, the layers of herb, mint, cherry and
plum flavors are tightly wound together and framed by toasty oak and
firm tannins. Elegant and stylish, this beautifully proportioned wine
echoes fruit and oak. Drink now to 2001.
