1991 Beringer Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

96 POINTS

Wine Advocate | Robert Parker | June 30, 2011
"I’ve enjoyed many bottles of this spectacular effort, which still possesses a dense ruby/purple color as well as a sumptuous nose of spring flowers, graphite, loamy soil, creme de cassis, black cherries and blackberries. With sweet tannin, a full-bodied mouthfeel and incredible purity as well as youthfulness, this wine has another 15-20 years of life left in it. If this were a Bordeaux, one would think it was 8-10 years old, not two decades. There are no hard edges, and the seamless integration of all the component parts make it one of the prodigious Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserves to drink now as well as over the next 20 years."

About This Wine

About 1991 Beringer Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

One of the longest, coolest growing seasons in memory, in an area where long and cool growing seasons are common, produced intense, tannic and well-balanced wines with great aging potential. Again, the Chabot, St. Helena Home and Bancroft vineyards were the source of the Cabernet Sauvignon for the Private Reserve, with the addition of 3 percent Cabernet Franc from the Bancroft Ranch vineyard.

The wine is highly concentrated and extractive, with expressive, big, dark fruit aromas and flavors. It has very fine, integrated tannins and a long finish.

Beringer Wine Reviews

Wine Spectator Rating

Rated 94 – Brimming with ripe, complex, youthful juicy plum, black cherry, chocolate, currant and spicy fruit flavors. Very dark color, excellent structure and depth of flavor. Finishes with a long, complex aftertaste. Should last another decade with ease. Drink now through 2012. (James Laube) Web Only – 2002

Rated 94 – Wine Advocate Rating

Beringer's 1991 Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve possesses excellent concentration, a smashing bouquet of smoky, unctuously-textured black and red fruits, sweet, generous, decadently rich flavors, low acidity, and a voluptuously long, juicy finish. This fabulous Cabernet should drink well for 15 or more years. (Robert Parker) October 1995

Dan Berger's Vintage Experiences Rating

Exceptional – Potent aroma of cedar, cherry, cassis and black currants with hints of plum and smoke. Still youthful, and the tannins are not bother because of the high-tined fruit. A powerful, age-worthy wine. December 6, 2001
