Wine Advocate Review The blend of course is Beringers beautiful 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve, always proving that the sum is better than the component parts. Dark ruby/purple color is accompanied by a big, sweet nose of smoked meats, black currant jam, chocolate, pain grille, and espresso roast. Rich, full-bodied, and deep with silky tannin and loads of length and concentration, it should drink well for 15-20 years.
