Beringer?

[robr]

Any opinions on the 2003 Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon? I keep looking at it in my local shop, and I seem to remember reading somewhere that it is one of the better mass produced Cabs.

The Founders Estate is OK. Have it in the lowbrow restaurnants we frequent as the only plausable choice.

Thanks IK. I also see Sterling a lot. Is that one about the same quality?

Their first tier is about the same quality and price. Might give the nod to Sterling.

Hi Bern. Beringer, Sterling, B.V., Heitz, Mondavi, Ch. Montelena, Stags' Leap, Duckhorn, Flora Springs, Inglenook, Grigich Hills, Caymus, Dunn, Far Niente, Joseph Phelps,Ridge, Shafer,Silver Oak,Whitehall Lane,Kenwood,Spottswood,Arrowood, and Conn Creek are all among the old elite produvcers in Napa and Sonoma. Some date to the 1930s, some the 40s, and all from the 70s' so they have a track record. Beringer makes everything from their Founders to their Private Reserve which will hold its' own against any world class wine. Try the old boys out. They have a hold on their vineyards, vines, and grapes. WW
