A California Collection Cabernet Sauvignon

They do a lot of Napa Valley wine. But not at this price...

Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon

Wine Reviewed
Beringer California Collection Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 13.5 % alcohol about $10.

We’ll start by quoting the marketing materials. “Tasting Note : Inky purple; notes of plum, blackberry, and vanilla; palate follows nose with dark fruit character and a soft vanilla and chocolate finish. Serving Suggestion : Serve with slow-cooked veal shank.” And now for my review.
At the first sips this wine was somewhat thin and fleeting. But later it lengthened and offered pleasant sweetness. Japanese rice crackers sadly Wasabi-less stiffened this drink a bit. A boxed Baked Ziti Siciliano liberally doused with grated parmesan cheese thinned the Cab. I couldn’t help but think of Gertrude Stein’s famous quote about a city that I choose not to name,– “There’s no there there.” To be fair, this liquid was refreshing.
