The 2009 Beringer Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve just recieved the honor of being the only Cab in Wine Spectator’s top ten wines of the year. I am not going to go as far as to say that this was undeserved, as it is a truly awesome wine, but there are several other Cabernet Sauvignons that I see as more fitting of the ranking.  That, as most ratings, rankings and evaluations are, is just my version of an educated opinion,  and I do not wish to dissuade anyone from obtaining this wonderful wine, my only suggestion would be to let it lay for a couple more years, as it is still a bit hot on the finish.
