Beringer’s 2022 Steinhauer Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon is a jewel-like amethyst color in the glass, and its pungent aromas of crushed gravel, flint, and graphite also seem to be mined from the earth. Sensationally dark, Howell Mountain fruit flavors of blackberry and black cherry explode on the palate, with sparks of fresh raspberry and cocoa brightening its core. Full-bodied and velvety in texture, strong tannins support the depth of this profoundly rich, concentrated wine through a long, pure finish. Age-worthy for the next 20 years, decant before serving.
