Hailing from the steep, volcanic slopes of the Spring Mountain District in Napa Valley, the Beringer Marston Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a masterclass in mountain-grown terroir. The Marston Vineyard, first planted in the late 1960s by Michael Marston, sits at elevations ranging from 900 to 1,200 feet, where well-drained volcanic soils and a temperate climate yield small, intensely concentrated berries. Beringer's relationship with this historic site dates back decades, crafting a single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon renowned for its deep structure, dense dark fruit profile, and signature mountain tannins. Typically aged in French oak barrels, this wine beautifully marries the rugged, wild character of Spring Mountain—marked by notes of blackberry, cassis, forest floor, and dried herbs—with Beringer's signature polished winemaking style.
