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.

#4

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.

#5

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.

#7

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

#8

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

#9

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!

#12

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.

#13

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.
