Beringer Stone Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon 2006, California, United States: These vineyards benefit from a temperate coastal climate and warm sunny days with cool nights. Half the wine was aged in French and American oak barrels for eight months. At blending, Petite Syrah was added to give the wine more color, and a firm backbone of tannins. A medium-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with notes of mocha, coffee, cassis, blackberry and pepper. Balanced with a smooth texture. 606798 13%  750 mL  $13.95 Score: 87/100. March 24, 2009 Full Review
