Bland and boring. Nothing special.

I agree with markas101 that there are many better Cabs at this price point.

I thought this wine was actually okay for the price. We tasted it alongside some 2004 Cakebread Cabernet Sauvignon, so in contrast it seemed worse than it really is.

There is a lot of minerally flavor and "fire" from the alcohol when you taste this, but it's not so bad as some others in ths price range. I thought it was fairly drinkable.

I usually like this line from Beringer as a good value wine. This vintage, however, was pretty disappointing...and I seem to find it all over the place as the house wine lately!
Very rough, bland and thin. A disappointment this year. Good call, markas101.
