✨ Technical Specifications
Paying tribute to the pioneering spirit of founders Jacob and Frederick Beringer, who established the historic estate in 1876, the Founders' Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted to showcase the diverse terroirs of California. Sourced from select vineyards across premier growing regions, this wine is designed to be approachable, vibrant, and expressive from the moment of release. The winemaking team carefully blends Cabernet Sauvignon with complementary red varietals to enhance its color and structure, followed by aging in seasoned French and American oak. The result is a classic California Cabernet characterized by lush flavors of blackberry, dark cherry, and cassis, seamlessly integrated with hints of toasted oak, vanilla, and baking spice.
🍾 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.
