Beringer is a Napa Valley icon that thoroughly embodies the timeless appeal and seductive flavor of Napa.  Founded in 1875, Beringer is California's longest continuously operating winery and a Napa Valley trailblazer.  This iconic winery has been making some of the most acclaimed wines in Napa since just after the end of the Civil War.  With over 150 years of unmatched success, Beringer has produced some of the most acclaimed high-end wines in Napa, plus wines that massively over-deliver at lower prices.  They've been Napa's benchmark producer since their establishment.  They were the first winery to have both red and white wines named to Wine Spectator's #1 Wine of the Year.  After nearly a century and a half, they still wow the critics with Robert Parker praising their wines as "exceptionally impressive".  Beringer has long set the standard for high-quality wine and, in particular, for Chardonnay.  Napa Valley Chardonnay of this quality at this price is almost unheard of.  It's Napa Valley luxury at an everyday price and the perfect weeknight staple for anyone who loves full-bodied Chardonnay.  The 2019 Beringer Napa Valley Chardonnay is delightfully luscious, bright and crisp.  It's layered, delicious and full-bodied with a smooth, creamy texture.  It's lush, plush and tropical in character with notes of lemon curd, apple, apricot, pineapple, white pear, honey, nutmeg, crushed hazelnut, and vanilla.  It's mouthwatering with fresh acidity and a long, savory dry finish.  This is a classic example of Napa Valley Chardonnay.  Enjoy!  

James Suckling, 92 Points 

"Lemon curd, baked apple, nutmeg and crushed hazelnut on the nose. Some vanilla, too. It’s full-bodied with a smooth, creamy texture. Layered and delicious. Drink or hold." 

Wine Enthusiast, 90 Points 

"This is a barrel-fermented blend of three vineyards, Stanly Ranch, Big Ranch and Gamble. Lush, plush and tropical in character, it offers tremendous richness in the form of honey, apricot and toasted hazelnut, with a finishing layer of vanilla." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Delightfully luscious, bright and crisp, with aromas and flavors of vibrant lemon citrus and tropical notes of pineapple, white pear, juicy Golden Delicious apple and a hint of lemon meringue, sea salt caramel and butterscotch. Mouth-watering with fresh acidity, leading to a long savory dry finish with white pepper spice and clove from the oak influence, the brightness of the Chardonnay fruit shines through, showcasing a classic example of Napa Valley Chardonnay."
