Tasting notes
The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon St Helena Home Vineyard is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep garnet-purple colored, it features notions of baked red and black plums, cherry preserves and dried cranberries with hints of potpourri, underbrush and dusty soil plus a waft of cinnamon stick. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a good solid backbone with a finely grained texture and fantastic intensity, finishing long and minerally. 723 cases were made.

A silky, fruity red with hints of herbs, meat and walnuts. Medium to full body. Creamy tannins. Some cedar. Drink in two or three years.
Made from 100% Cabernet from a site around the estate in St. Helena, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Home Vineyard spent 20 months in new French oak. Its inky color is followed by a rocking bouquet of pure black fruits, espresso roast, and forest floor notes. These carry to a rich, full-bodied, wine that has beautiful tannins, a stacked mid-palate, and a seamless pure texture.
The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Home Vineyard is another terrific wine in this range from Beringer. The Home has a bit more richness and structure than the Chabot, with an intriguing combination of fruit density and underlying structure. I very much like the sense of energy here, especially in 2017, which gives the wine a sense of drive as well as direction.
