Cabernet Sauvignon from California and Australia

An interesting selection of Cabernet Sauvignon from California and Australia, paired with prime filet mignon seared rare over cherry wood coals + garlic-herb risotto + Caribbean black bean salad.

1990 Beringer Private Reserve - these wines typically show well after 10-15 years and the 1990 is spectacular right now.  Black cherry with fine-grained tannins, cedar and a hint of anise.

1998 Noon Reserve - a monster of a wine that will go another 20 years.  Gobs of black currant fruit complemented by tar and well integrated tannins.

2006 Togni Estate - one of my favorite California Cabs ... this one is just a baby but is approachable now.  Blackberry and cedar and nicely balanced acidity for a California wine.
