2016 Beringer Lampyridae Vineyard Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon
Description
Description
Lampyridae, “firefly” in Latin, is one of Napa’s highest vineyards at 2400 feet elevation. This picturesque vineyard is high above the fog layer and has longer hours of sunshine and warmer nights, but days are cooler than the lower elevation vineyards. On clear days you can see all the way to San Francisco. One of the newest vineyards in the Private Reserve line-up, it shows incredible depth of flavor and intense, unique black fruit characters. Careful attention is paid to vineyard blocks, which are kept separate and vinified with a goal of extracting maximum flavor.

“Roasted-meat, smoke and savory notes, plus a slew of blackberry and bitter-chocolate character. On the palate the major tannin structure gives this a lot of drive, but there’s more than enough richness to balance it. Very long, dry and mineral finish. Better from 2021.” - James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com

Wine Advocate
“Deep garnet-purple colored, it leaps from the glass with notes of black cherries, fresh blackberries and blackcurrants with touches of tilled soil, garrigue, wild thyme and black tea. Full, firm, grainy and laden with black fruits and earthy layers, it finishes with great length.” - Lisa Perotti-Brown
