    The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Home Vineyard St. Helena exhibits copious notes of creme de cassis, incense, cedarwood and forest floor.
    Author: Robert Parker

  • International Wine Cellar | Rating: 92

    Bright medium ruby. Ripe aromas of cassis, blackberry, violet, dark chocolate and wild herbs. Lush and rich, with an attractive restrained sweetness to the dark berry, black cherry and menthol flavors. The deepest and most concentrated of Beringer's vineyard-designated cabernets in 2011. Finishes chewy and sweet, with broad dusty tannins and a medicinal reserve.
    Author: Stephen Tanzer
    Issue: May/June 2014

  • Wine Spectator | Rating: 87

    Offering aromas of melted black licorice, dusty cedar and damp earth, this avoids being overly tannic. Drink now through 2019. 135 cases made.

    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.
