2013 Beringer Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon This is bursting with bright

This is bursting with bright red berry fruit

with sustained minerality and pretty citrus notes

beautifully textured Tavel that offers lots of flowers

which offers distinctive richness and a broad set of flavors much more associated with such productions as Chassagne-Montrachet and Meursault

Great alone

2013 Beringer Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon This is bursting with brightFor all its plumpness, this feels sophisticated, its sense of fatness coming from abundant, perfectly ripe tannins rather than jammy, overripe fruit. Its clean, dark berry flavors are harmonious and lasting, the structure seeming at one moment supple and easy, at the next more deep and stony. Give it another five years in the bottle before pouring it with a standing rib roast.
