Beringer 2015 Founders' Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (California)
#56 Top 100 Best Buy 2018
Return to List Sturdy and flavorful, this is a well-made, dry and moderately tannic wine that smells beefy, salt-and-peppery, and tastes juicy like raspberries and cherries with a little bit of meatiness coming through for complexity. The texture has good grip and acidity so the wine will pair well with big proteins. Jim Gordon
