Beringer Vineyards
Chabot Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
St. Helena, Napa Valley, California, USA
Almost three years since my last bottle. This is still a good cab, but I was expecting more improvement by now, 10+ years post-vintage. Medium-to-full bodied, with dark red fruits and a dried herbal note leading to a clean but somewhat short finish. This doesn’t rank up with the better vintages of Chabot Vineyard for me.

Mar 17th, 2019Dark and tannic, even after 4 hrs of air. This is still quite young and should be left to sleep for another 3 years before checking in again. Still, I think it'll be an excellent wine when the tannins are more resolved.
