New California Greats from 1994 & 1997

"1994 still ranks as one of California's greatest modern day vintages ... It remains to be seen if 1997 will eclipse 1994. What makes 1994 [and] 1997 the... finest vintages of the decade is the fact that the wines are rich yet approachable, aromatic, with wonderful sweet, rich, multi-layered textures, ripe, well-integrated tannin, and low acidity. The wines have been approachable since conception, yet continue to indicate that they will be long-lived classics of remarkable symmetry and opulence." - Robert Parker

1994 Beringer - Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve (94 WA) $89.95 - "The terrific 1994 Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve offers an opaque purple color, a gorgeous nose of toasty oak, and a silky, concentrated texture with unobtrusive acidity or tannin.

1997 Beringer - Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve (94 WS) $99.95 - "The opaque plum/purple color is followed by a superb nose of smoked herbs, melted licorice, and black currant jam. Full-bodied, with a silky texture, and an opulent personality, this sexy, full-throttle Cabernet Sauvignon will be delicious young, yet last for 18-20 years." - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate

1994 Michael, Peter - Les Pavots (94 WA) $149.95 - "The superb 1994 Les Pavots is, to my palate, the finest example of this wine Peter Michael has yet made.... Sweet, rich, and surprisingly showy for a Les Pavots, this medium to full-bodied wine possesses a luscious, multi-layered texture, outstanding depth, and attractively integrated tannin and acidity." - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate

1997 Michael, Peter - Les Pavots (96 WA) $179.95 - "A blue/black/purple color is followed by an extraordinary bouquet of toast, blackberries, creme de cassis, licorice, and cedar. Full-bodied, with silky tannin, low acidity, and layers of concentrated, pure black fruits judiciously wrapped in subtle toasty oak..." - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
