Beringer, established in 1876 by brothers Jacob and Frederick Beringer, stands as one of California's most historic and enduring winemaking icons. While deeply rooted in Napa Valley, Beringer pioneered exploration into the neighboring Knights Valley AVA in Sonoma County during the 1960s, recognizing its immense potential for Bordeaux varietals. The Pauli Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon represents a superb expression of this rugged, volcanic terroir. Situated in a zone characterized by well-drained soils and dramatic diurnal temperature shifts, the vineyard allows Cabernet Sauvignon to develop deep concentration and complex flavors while retaining vital acidity. Traditionally crafted with meticulous sorting and aged in premium French oak barrels, this single-vineyard bottling showcases the classic Knights Valley signature of rich dark fruit, subtle herbal undertones, and structured, dusty tannins.
