✨ Technical Specifications
Beringer Vineyards, established in 1876 by German brothers Jacob and Frederick Beringer, stands as one of Napa Valley's most historic and enduring estates. While globally renowned for Cabernet Sauvignon, Beringer's dedication to Cabernet Franc highlights the grape's unique expression in California's premier terroirs. Sourced primarily from select vineyards within Napa Valley, including high-elevation hillside sites, the vines benefit from well-drained volcanic soils and warm days paired with cool nights. The wine is traditionally aged in French oak barrels to refine its structure. It offers a rich, aromatic profile featuring dark cherry, red currant, and blackberry, seamlessly woven with classic Cabernet Franc characteristics of dried herbs, sage, graphite, and subtle baking spice. This bottling reflects Beringer's deep-rooted winemaking heritage and commitment to showcasing Napa's diverse microclimates.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1876 by brothers Jacob and Frederick Beringer, Beringer Vineyards holds the distinction of being California's oldest continuously operating winery, situated in the heart of St. Helena in Napa Valley. Pioneers of early Napa winemaking, the Beringer brothers engineered hand-dug limestone caves and gravity-fed cellars to craft refined, ageworthy wines. Today, owned by Treasury Wine Estates, the historic estate maintains an uncompromising dedication to site-specific viticulture across prime Napa Valley and Knights Valley terroirs. Beringer is internationally celebrated for its flagship Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, alongside complex single-vineyard expressions and botrytized dessert wines like Nightingale.
