In its third century of crafting wines from Napa, Beringer is guided by the partnership of Winemaster Emeritus Ed Sbragia and Winemaker Laurie Hook.
Founded by Jacob Beringer, Vineyard was established in 1876. Dark Ruby with rich aromas ripe dark fruits with sweet spice and cedar notes. On the palate blackberry and cherry with licorice and cacao, well integrated and balanced acidity. Soft tannins, great mouthfeel, long finish, aged well. Nice!!

Great value cab! Good dark berry and bramble up front with firm medium tannins on the finish. A great value cab, with all the markings of a typical great cab at a fantastic price.

Deep ruby red with a purplish hue. Lots of baking spices on the nose with dark cherries, black currants and cassis. Moderate tannins (6/10) and moderate plus bodied. Dark berried attack, but dissapointly thins out mid palate quite a bit and then lingers for a slightly bitter long finish. Drink from 2017 till 2025. (Strong 89+)

This is a cool wine. Rich mid-palate, gentle tannins and a little heat, but lots of cocoa, clove, bay leaf and nutmeg on the nose. The herbal notes add a fun twist to the rich cab trope.
