✨ wine.spec_sheet
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.
