✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1876 by German immigrant brothers Jacob and Frederick Beringer, Beringer Vineyards holds the historic distinction of being the oldest continuously operating winery in Napa Valley. Anchored in St. Helena, the estate spans prime viticultural land across northern California, drawing fruit from well-draining alluvial fans, volcanic benchlands, and cooler southern AVA pockets such as Oak Knoll and Carneros. Across its celebrated white wine portfolio, Beringer emphasizes balance, varietal purity, and stylistic diversity—from the mineral-driven tension of the Napa Valley Sauvignon Blancs to the layered, barrel-fermented opulence of its Private Reserve and Luminus Chardonnays. Viticulture focuses rigorously on third-party certified sustainable farming practices, water conservation, and soil health across all estate vineyards. By bridging time-honored European cellar traditions with modern precision vinification, Beringer maintains an internationally revered benchmark status in contemporary California winemaking.
