Beringer Cabernet Sauvigon

Founders' Estate
2005 California
We recently had this at a wine tasting and it was our favorite of the 15 red wines there. It is hearty and has a bold red taste ($8) . According to Beringer's "Winemaker Tasting Notes: The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon is a complex yet approachable wine – I get flavors of cola, ripe black cherry and a hint of tobacco in the aroma and flavor. The North Coast vineyards I used in this blend are known for producing fruit that is lush in flavor yet also balanced by great structure and tannins. The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon is full of spice and black fruit, making it ideal to serve with a variety of foods or simply just enjoyed on its own."
