2018 Beringer "Borrow Pit Vineyard" Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon

“A new wine in this range, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Borrow Pit Vineyard emerges from the front blocks of Gamble Ranch, in Oakville, a pretty special neighborhood. Dark, powerful and brooding, the 2018 offers up a compelling mélange of black cherry, chocolate, mocha, spice and licorice. This is an impressive debut. I won't be surprised if the Borrow Pit becomes one of the stars in the Beringer range as the vines get older. (AG)” (01/2021)

“The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Borrow Pit Vineyard comes from a site in Oakville and was brought up in 91% new oak. It’s a beauty, offering a plush, full-bodied style as well as lots of plum and currant fruits, notes of tobacco, chocolate, and leafy herbs, a seamless mouthfeel, and an upfront, undeniably delicious style that’s going to evolve for 10-12 years.” (01/2021)
