Beringer Third Century Cabernet Sauvignon

Sweetness: Extra dry
Alcohol: 14%
Price $20-$25


Beringer created a collection of premium varietal wines to celebrate their third century of winemaking in California. This 2005 vintage Cab is bursting with blackcurrant and black cherry fruit, plus notes of licorice, tobacco and baking spices. Full-bodied and concentrated with ample structure and tannic depth, it offers a long, fruity/spice finish.
