Winehunter: 03 & 04 Beringer Bancroft Ranch Merlot $20

WINE TALK
1

This is very fruit-forward, spicy & big-oak, but will really appeal to your non-winegeek friends at parties, for gifts, etc. For $20, this is insane.

It’s $25 per if you’re not a club member.

That is retarded cheap.

any CA guys members? i’d like some to pick some up whenever if i can bundled into an order.

If I didn’t already blow my yearly budget and already didn’t have so much of this, I would be buying multiple cases…I still might.

fwiw our own Richard Jennings gave the '04 an 83. You can pick up the Bancroft merlots all the time on winebid for 20-25 bucks. I have some 1994 and 2000 that I got off winebid. Both have been excellent.

I had the 2000 at a wine dinner last year. I was shocked by how good it was considering the otherwise lackluster vintage.

But you showed so much restraint with Cameron Hughes… [rofl.gif]

These prices are a result of “Sideways” and the grocery store image of Beringer. Get 'em while they last!

Careful, the PC police will slap your keyboard… neener

Thanks, Brandon. Great deal.

That’s what I’m talking about! Bought a mixed case. I haven’t had this wine in probably 7 or 8 years, but it was a pretty darn good Merlot. Prices started going up, so I stopped buying. But at $25, it’s a no-brainer!

Wow, the sale was supposed to go thru the end of March…but I just grabbed the last case & a half…wonder if they’ll put more up.

Thanks for the heads up! Pulled the trigger on a few. Cheers.

As if this already wasn’t a crazy good deal, you can use the promo code from the sale this weekend CELLAR2010 and it works on this deal. Shipping to me in Atlanta was like $13.
