Quantum is the smallest unit of energy achievable in science. Each tiny particle – each singular quantum – holds unique potential to contribute to a larger being. When these units combine, each quantum contributes its specific essence, resulting in a system of great expression and complexity. Similarly in wine, Beringer recognizes that each grape varietal offers unique flavor and structure, and that each vineyard and block of vines contributes yet another expression of those varietals. In other words, each of these components acts as a quantum. When these varietals, or quanta combine, they produce something of far greater value.
Each distinctive lot is kept separate from the moment of harvest until final blending the following year. Each Quantum expression showcases traditional Bordeaux varietals with a foundation of Cabernet Sauvignon, the backbone and undisputed star of Beringer. In this vintage, the blend anchors with 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, with Cabernet Franc and Petit Sirah highlighted, along with touches of Malbec, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Merlot contributes to a round mouth feel and soft tannins, Cabernet Franc adds great color and unique aromatics, Petite Sirah adds spice complexity, and Malbec adds silkiness and depth of color to the final blend. The wines were aged in French oak (50% new) for 20 months, and allowed to further integrate and gain complexity in bottle for another year.
1 POINTS - JAMES SUCKLING
“A juicy and rich red with plum and berry character. Some spice and pepper undertones. Full-bodied, round and delicious. Slightly old-school but enjoyable. A little hot at the finish. Drink now.” - James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, May 2018
