"The Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon always includes small amounts of Bancroft Vineyard Merlot and 15%-25% Chabot Vineyard Cabernet. Since the mid-eighties, it has consistently been one of California's most exhilarating Cabernets. Upcoming vintages include truly spectacular wines in 1992, 1993, and 1994. The 1993 Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve is cut from the same cloth as the 1992. Ostentatious aromas of smoky, toasty oak are enhanced by lavish quantities of creamy black fruits, chocolate, vanilla, and licorice. Super-extracted (even richer and thicker than the 1992), Beringer's 1993 Private Reserve is a super-intense, great wine for drinking young or aging . . . . Readers will find that Beringer has made 1993s that are among the very finest in California. Beringer has once again proven that they are one of the qualitative leaders in California as they continue to turn out reference point wines - not only for California, but the world."
