Beringer, Alluvium, Knight’s Valley, 1999

Beringer, Alluvium, Knight’s Valley, 1999 ($30) - Five classic red Bordeaux varietals are used to create this blend: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. Ruby with nice variation of color, strong berry nose and a bit of oak, very nice blackberry and bell pepper flavor spectrum with smooth, drying tannins. Delicious now but has another 3-5 years of cellar time left. Score: 9/10
