👉 “95-Point Howell Mountain Cabernet • Private Reserve Vineyard Source • Built to Age”

The Beringer 2019 Bancroft Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon is a powerful and structured mountain Cabernet sourced from one of Howell Mountain’s highest-elevation vineyards—delivering intensity, precision, and serious aging potential.

Crafted by Beringer Vineyards, this single-vineyard wine comes from Bancroft Ranch, a prized site perched at 1,770 feet above sea level. Notably, fruit from this vineyard is often selected for Beringer’s flagship Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, underscoring its pedigree and quality.

The nose opens with concentrated aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum, layered with hints of cedar, graphite, and subtle spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and structured, showcasing dense fruit, firm mountain tannins, and a mineral-driven core. The volcanic ash soils and elevation contribute to a wine of power, focus, and balance, finishing long with notes of dark fruit, crushed stone, and fine oak spice.

This is a classic Howell Mountain Cabernet—intense, structured, and built for the cellar.
