Beringer Vineyards, established in 1876 by brothers Jacob and Frederick Beringer, holds the distinction of being Napa Valley's oldest continuously operating winery. The Beringer Classic Zinfandel represents a tribute to this rich California winemaking heritage, crafted in an approachable, fruit-forward style that celebrates the state's signature grape. Sourced from sun-drenched vineyards across California, this wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel to preserve its vibrant primary fruit characteristics, followed by brief aging to round out its texture. It delivers a classic expression of Zinfandel, bursting with fresh wild blackberries, dark cherries, and a subtle hint of warm baking spices, embodying the historic, welcoming spirit of California's pioneer winemakers.
