1994 Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon Chabot Vineyard

Readers are undoubtedly familiar with the first wine from this program, the Cabernet Sauvignon from Beringer's 25-acre Chabot Vineyard. This wine, like all of these offerings, is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in 100% new oak casks. The 1994 Cabernet Sauvignon Chabot Vineyard is a backward, full-bodied, muscular wine that is 5-7 years away from drinkability. With airing, the wine reluctantly gives up scents of pepper, iodine, cassis, mint, and earth. This full-bodied, large-scaled Cabernet begs for more bottle time. This wine should only be purchased by those willing to invest patience, as it will not provide enjoyable drinking when young. Tel. (707) 963-7115; Fax (707) 963-1735
