2009 Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon Chabot Vineyard
Wine Spectator | Rating: 90
Combines ripe, supple layers of plum, black cherry and wild berry with subtle loamy earth and anise notes, before firming nicely on the finish.Author: James LaubeInternational Wine Cellar | Rating: 92
Medium ruby. Very pure, mineral-tinged aromas of blackberry, cassis and violet. Creamy on entry, then a bit narrower in the middle before opening nicely with aeration to show more sweetness and good depth. Elegant, intensely flavored cabernet with a rising finish featuring ripe tannins and a late note of dark chocolate.Author: Stephen TanzerIssue: May/June 2012Wine Advocate | Rating: 89
The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Chabot Vineyard comes across rich, dark and supple. Black fruit, mocha, spices and licorice are some of the nuances that take shape in the glass. This is a very pretty Chabot Vineyard. Sweet floral notes wrap around the finish.Author: Antonio Galloni
California is the heartland of wine production in the US, and the state that brought prestige to American wine thanks to the pioneers who built early wineries like Staglin, Beringer, Ridge, Mayacamas and Chateau Montelena in the 1800s. Its large geographic area ensures a great diversity in growing sites, varieties grown, and quality levels. Generalizations about the state's wines have numerous exceptions; however, a few key facts generally hold true—ample sunshine, dry weather during the growing season, and moderate winters prevail. Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon continue to dominate the state's production—albeit in continually smaller percentages, as growers continue to diversify. More than 100 different varieties can be found throughout the state.
