✨ wine.spec_sheet
Stone Cellars by Beringer honors the pioneering spirit of the Beringer brothers, Jacob and Frederick, who established their historic Napa Valley estate in 1876. The name itself pays homage to the iconic, hand-hewn stone cellars built into the hillsides of St. Helena, which provided the ideal cool temperatures for aging early California vintages. Sourced from vineyards across California's sun-drenched valleys, this Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted to be an approachable, fruit-forward expression of the varietal. It is typically fermented in stainless steel and aged with a gentle touch of oak to preserve its vibrant fruit character, resulting in a smooth wine defined by notes of ripe blackberry, dark cherry, and a hint of sweet baking spice.
