Crafted to honor the legendary tenure of winemaker Ed Sbragia, who joined Beringer in 1976 and shaped the modern era of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, this commemorative bottling represents the pinnacle of the estate's classic, opulent style. Sourced from premier estate vineyard blocks that Sbragia championed during his quarter-century of winemaking, this Cabernet Sauvignon is a testament to Napa's rich volcanic soils and warm microclimates. True to Sbragia's signature style, the wine undergoes meticulous fermentation and extended aging in select French oak barrels, yielding a remarkably bold, structured, and velvety wine. It weaves a rich narrative of Napa Valley history, celebrating the deep partnership between a historic estate founded in 1876 and one of its most influential modern masters.
