The Rhine House Cabernet Sauvignon by Beringer is a liquid tribute to the winery's rich heritage, named after the iconic, multi-gabled Victorian mansion built by Frederick Beringer in 1884 to replicate his family's ancestral home along the Rhine River in Germany. As one of Napa Valley's historic landmarks, the Rhine House represents the pioneering spirit of the Beringer brothers who established the estate in 1876. This reserve-tier Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted from select premium vineyard blocks across Napa Valley, showcasing the region's signature deep alluvial soils and sun-drenched microclimates. Traditionally fermented and aged in French oak barrels, the wine reflects a classic, full-bodied Napa style, characterized by rich layers of dark blackberry, cassis, structured tannins, and a refined touch of sweet oak spice that honors over a century of winemaking excellence.
