✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the historic Beringer estate, founded in 1876 by brothers Jacob and Frederick Beringer, the Tre Colline Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the rugged beauty of Napa Valley's Howell Mountain AVA. Named 'Three Hills' for its distinct topography, this high-elevation vineyard sits well above the valley fog line, basking in intense mountain sunlight while cooled by afternoon breezes. The volcanic, iron-rich soils force the vines to struggle, producing small, thick-skinned berries with immense concentration. This single-vineyard bottling is a classic expression of mountain Cabernet Sauvignon, typically aged in premium French oak barrels. It weaves a rich narrative of dark cassis, black cherry, graphite, and wild mountain sage, backed by a powerful, muscular tannic structure that has defined Beringer's pioneering legacy for generations.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1876 by brothers Jacob and Frederick Beringer, Beringer Vineyards holds the distinction of being California's oldest continuously operating winery, situated in the heart of St. Helena in Napa Valley. Pioneers of early Napa winemaking, the Beringer brothers engineered hand-dug limestone caves and gravity-fed cellars to craft refined, ageworthy wines. Today, owned by Treasury Wine Estates, the historic estate maintains an uncompromising dedication to site-specific viticulture across prime Napa Valley and Knights Valley terroirs. Beringer is internationally celebrated for its flagship Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, alongside complex single-vineyard expressions and botrytized dessert wines like Nightingale.
