“Wine consultant Mark Herold is making the wines at this estate, which he considers to have some of
the greatest terroir potential he has seen in Napa Valley. The vineyards are located on Diamond
Mountain, in the distinctive micro-climate of the Franz Valley School Road (48 acres protected on three
sides by forests). there are three single vineyard offerings…These are impressive newcomers that merit
serious attention.” Robert Parker

Rare Single Vineyard Offerings
“The following tasting notes are brief, but I included them since readers who visit Napa Valley can purchase these
wines directly from Beringer. There are between 200-500 cases of the following seven single vineyard cuvées that all
go into the Private Reserve bottling, and all of them are showing better this year than they did in 2003…One of my
favorites, the 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon St. Helena Home Vineyard (rated 95/100) is a classic example of Cabernet
Sauvignon’s Créme de cassis side. With a terrific texture, wonderful opulence, and a long, full-bodied finish, it will be
a 20-year wine. The 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Steinhauer Vineyard (rated 93/100) is another big, full bodied, heady
effort.” Wine Advocate

“The following single-vineyard wines, which are only available at the winery, emerge from the component parts utilized in the Private
Reserve blend. My favorite of the component parts is the 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon St. Helena Home Vineyard (rated 93/100)
because of its extraordinarily pure crème de cassis character, big, sweet licorice, cedary, full-bodied opulence, and voluptuous personality.
After that, I thought the 2002 Steinhauer Cabernet Sauvignon (rated 90/100) revealed impressive minerality along with white
flowers, and serious density, structure, and delineation.” Wine Advocate
