✨ Technical Specifications
The Beringer Marston Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a masterful expression of mountain-grown fruit, sourced from the historic Marston Vineyard nestled on the steep slopes of the Spring Mountain District in Napa Valley. Originally planted in the late 19th century, this vineyard features well-drained volcanic soils and a unique microclimate that benefits from cool marine breezes and high-elevation sunlight. Beringer, one of Napa's oldest continuously operating wineries founded by the Beringer brothers in 1876, has long recognized the exceptional quality of this site. The resulting wine is typically a powerful, structured Cabernet Sauvignon, aged in French oak barrels to integrate its robust mountain tannins. It weaves a rich narrative of dark mountain berries, graphite, and cocoa, reflecting the rugged yet elegant terroir of Spring Mountain.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1876 by German immigrant brothers Jacob and Frederick Beringer, Beringer Vineyards holds the historic distinction of being the oldest continuously operating winery in Napa Valley. Anchored in St. Helena, the estate spans prime viticultural land across northern California, drawing fruit from well-draining alluvial fans, volcanic benchlands, and cooler southern AVA pockets such as Oak Knoll and Carneros. Across its celebrated white wine portfolio, Beringer emphasizes balance, varietal purity, and stylistic diversity—from the mineral-driven tension of the Napa Valley Sauvignon Blancs to the layered, barrel-fermented opulence of its Private Reserve and Luminus Chardonnays. Viticulture focuses rigorously on third-party certified sustainable farming practices, water conservation, and soil health across all estate vineyards. By bridging time-honored European cellar traditions with modern precision vinification, Beringer maintains an internationally revered benchmark status in contemporary California winemaking.
