The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Chabot Vineyard is the tightest and most reticent of these single-vineyard Cabernets from Beringer. Not surprisingly, winemaker Laurie Hook has decided to give the Chabot a few more months in oak. Today the Chabot is incredibly shut down, with the intensity of these obsidian-rich soils playing a dominant role. From time to time, hints of the wine’s pedigree emerge, but only with great reluctance. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2030. This lineup from Beringer is full of highlights. The top Cabernet Sauvignon bottlings are terrific, but I am just as drawn to the entry and mid-tier offerings for their superb value and wide availability in the market. Tel. (707) 963-7115
