Beringer Quantum Red Blend 2014
Napa Valley, California, United StatesHalf of the 2014 Quantum fruit comes off Howell Mountain, with the balance from vineyard sites down on the valley floor. The blend is 74 percent cabernet sauvignon, 12 percent merlot, 7 percent cabernet franc, 5 petite sirah, 2 percent malbec from what many have called a dream vintage. I notice the wine is drier and firmer this year, and much more serious. The colour is opaque, and the nose a mix of classic black fruits, tobacco and dried leaf. The balance and textures are already in sync, but there is some tannin to disperse. Best with grilled meats at this point but should aged well through 2022.Tasted: 05 October 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $71.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
