Critical Acclaim
RATED 93—“A real mouthful of delicious Chardonnay, with a range of
flavors stretching from ripe pear, fig and citrus to pretty smoky oak, hazelnut
and caramel. Finishes with a pure gush of rich earth and Chardonnay flavors,
turning elegant and graceful. Drink now through 2006. 5,000 cases made.”
Wine Spectator
RATED 90—“Pale yellow-gold. Oaky aromas of yellow fruits, honey,
nuts and mint. Fat and sweet, with exotic fruit flavors of apricot and guava. An
impressively chewy wine, finishing with some alcoholic warmth.” Steve Tanzer
RATED 92—“Attractive, forward, intense, buttery, oily, ripe tropical fruit
aroma with overtones of butterscotch, hazelnut, and vanilla; full body; forward,
rich, lush, concentrated, toasty, oily, buttery flavors with notes of butterscotch
over the long finish. Stylistic. Very highly recommended.” California Grapevine

Critical Acclaim
RATED 94— “A sensational effort. The opaque plum/purple color is followed
by a super nose of smoked herbs, melted licorice, and cassis jam. Full-bodied, with a
silky texture, and an opulent personality, this sexy full-throttle Cabernet Sauvignon
will be delicious young, yet last for 18-20 years.” Robert Parker
RATED 93— “With a track record of excellence, it’s no surprise the Beringer
Private Reserve rates highly in the ‘99 vintage. Complex aromas of currant, herb,
tobacco, olive and cedar lead to similar flavors in a rich, concentrated yet elegant presentation.
Turns smooth and creamy, with vanilla, mocha and blackberry flavors peeking
through on the finish. Best from 2005 through 2014. 10,000 cases made.
Collectible.” Wine Spectator
