91 Points Robert Parker
"The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve is from only two sources (somewhat unusual), the Steinhauer Vineyard on Howell Mountain (71%) and the St. Helena Home Vineyard (29%). It achieved 14.7% natural alcohol and a relatively high pH of 3.9, which suggests plenty of ripeness, no doubt from the Howell Mountain component. Aged 18 months in new French oak and 12 months in the bottle before being released, this beautiful Cabernet demonstrates the commitment to quality that exists at Beringer. The 2011 exhibits a deep ruby/purple color along with a sweet bouquet of chocolate, red and black currants, graphite and spring flowers. Ripe and medium-bodied with gorgeous fruit, and no astringency or herbaceousness, this is a lovely, soft, round, juicy wine to drink over the next decade."
91 Points Stephen Tanzer
"Bright red-ruby. Cassis, licorice, graphite, peppery herbs and tobacco leaf on the nose, plus a whiff of chocolate mint. Classic youthfully medicinal cabernet; densely packed and pliant, with a light touch to the flavors of cassis, blueberry, menthol and graphite. Suave, energetic wine with easygoing tannins and a hint of youthful bitterness that's nicely supported by the wine's texture and sweetness."
