Beringer Vineyards 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon From Napa Valley, USA

This Cabernet Sauvignon is a great example of California red done right. I would put this wine far ahead of Robert Mondavi's 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon, but perhaps not as good as (and more expensive than) the Concha y Toro 2009 'Marques de Casa Concha' Cabernet Sauvignon From Puente Alto, Chile. Tastes like cherry-vanilla happiness and worth buying again (Natalie says plum and pleasing tannins).

Paid $26.99 at Petzinger's in Brooklyn
