Beringer Vineyards, established in 1876 by brothers Jacob and Frederick Beringer, stands as one of Napa Valley's most historic and continuously operating wineries. The 'Q' Red Blend is a testament to Beringer's long-standing heritage of pioneering craftsmanship and the art of blending. Sourced from premier vineyards across California's diverse microclimates, this red blend typically marries the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon with the plush fruitiness of Merlot and the spicy complexity of Syrah. The grapes are harvested from select parcels where warm days and cool night breezes from the bay allow for slow, even ripening. Aged in a combination of French and American oak, the wine pays homage to the historic Rhine House and the gravity-fed stone cellars hand-chiseled into the hillside, offering a rich tapestry of dark berry flavors, subtle baking spices, and velvety tannins.
