Imagine your licking a rough wet stone wall with rivulets flowing down at random. This vintage would pair with that vision. Rough. Wet. Random. Be ready for a happy roughed up tongue.. — 6 years ago

Drink w a roast; never a filet.
Oft called - unfairly- the Cherry Coke of Cabernets. It’s more akin to Coke Zero.

Beringer Pinot is a tank, my war horse.
A stout fruit aroma greets the drinker from 3 feet.

Serve with savory or sweet, to a pauper or a president.
