Karri rated this wine as 100/100

Jon Steeves rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Big value for fruit forward California red fans. This is a bourbon barrel aged red wine, full bodied, soft medium - low tannins. Ripe black cherry, rich toffee, sweetgrass smoke and baking spices. Easily enjoyable with or without food. Pairs well with chilli con carne topped with smoked aged cheddar cheese and black olives. Tasted the 2016 vintage in Nov 2018. 89 points. #Greatvalue #gamenight wine

Natalie's Review

Beringer Brothers Bourbon Barrel Red Blend 2016, California, United States: A rich, full-bodied, deeply flavoured Californian red wine blend that was aged 60 days in American bourbon oak barrels. This imparts richness and depth of flavour, though I don't find it sweet. Some darkly caramelized notes from the oak along with fleshy ripe plums and berries from the wine. Pair with grilled meats. Drink: 2018-2022. 572800 14.50% D 750 mL $23.05 Score: 90/100. November 8, 2018 Top Rated Red Wine. Full Review

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
