✨ wine.spec_sheet
Founded in 1876 by brothers Jacob and Frederick Beringer, Beringer Vineyards holds the distinction of being the oldest continuously operating winery in Napa Valley. Their Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon represents a legacy of pioneering viticulture and meticulous winemaking. Sourced from some of Napa's most prestigious mountain and valley floor vineyards—such as Howell Mountain and Spring Mountain—this wine is a classic expression of Napa Valley's diverse terroir. It is typically crafted from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon or a Bordeaux-style blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, then aged for nearly two years in French oak barrels. The result is a deeply concentrated, structured red wine featuring rich dark fruit, cocoa, and refined tannins, echoing the historic gravity of the estate's hand-hewn stone tunnels and Victorian Rhine House.
