Beringer Vineyards, founded in 1876 by brothers Jacob and Frederick Beringer, stands as one of Napa Valley's most historic and enduring estates. The 'Third Century' release pays homage to this remarkable legacy as the winery embarked on its third century of continuous winemaking. Sourced from select vineyards across California's premier growing regions, this Cabernet Sauvignon represents a classic, approachable expression of the state's signature red grape.
