Cult Wines International Notes:

The Beringer Vineyards Founders’ Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a tribute to the winery’s legacy, representing a high-quality, approachable expression of Cabernet Sauvignon that draws on fruit sourced from prime California appellations. Founded in 1876, Beringer is Napa Valley’s longest continuously operating winery and was instrumental in establishing the region’s reputation.

Sourcing and Style: Unlike their single-vineyard or Private Reserve selections, the Founders’ Estate is crafted as a multi-appellation blend, primarily utilizing grapes from vineyards throughout the Central Coast and North Coast regions of California. This flexibility in sourcing allows Beringer to maintain remarkable consistency, value, and a generous flavor profile across vintages.

Tasting Profile: This wine is renowned for its smooth, easy-drinking style. It typically shows aromas of deep blackcurrant, dark plum, and red berries, often complemented by notes of cocoa, baking spice, and subtle toasted oak. The palate is medium-bodied with a soft, supple texture and round tannins, offering excellent balance and a long, pleasing finish. It is fermented in stainless steel and aged in a combination of French and American oak to enhance complexity without overpowering the fruit.

Conclusion: The Founders’ Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is designed to be enjoyed upon release. It serves as a fantastic introduction to the Beringer portfolio and the classic dark-fruit character of California Cabernet, providing exceptional quality and drinkability for the price point.
