I was looking for the 2009 vintage of this wine which was No. 8 of the Top 100 Wine Spectator Wine of the Year in 2012. This showed up two days ago at the Cambie and 39th LDB store. The rating is the same as the 2009 vintage. I tasted the regular version of this wine (2010 Beringer Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, WS88, $44.99, SKU 352583) and thought it was a good cabernet sauvignon. One of my tasting panel members mentioned that he tasted an older vintage of the regular version with some serious wine drinkers and they all thought it was a reserve wine. So with such good history, I would say the 2010 Reserve version is worthy of cellaring for five to ten years. This is a Sonoma Valley cabernet and Beringer is a consistent winery. At this price, one cannot go wrong.
