Rich Johnson brought this perennial favorite and Napa Valley workhorse -- Beringer Private Reserve! I have been to many a fancy tasting where a Beringer Private Reserve walked away as the wine of the night... This bottling is super-rich, ripe but not overripe (thankfully), with high acids on the spicy finish. This wine is exciting and vibrant now but will age for another 10 years and likely improve throughout. While it didn't contend for wine of the night honors, it is easily the best QPR wine we tasted (of 22): $110; 94+ points
