Notes from the Winemaker:

VINEYARDS
Beringer's Chardonnay vineyards span several sub-appellations in southern Napa Valley, where fog from the San Pablo Bay works its way north each afternoon during the growing season, cooling the vineyards and slowing sugar production in the grapes, thus allowing a longer maturation period, and maintaining the varietal's bright acidity. The cooler vineyards to the south produce grapes with crisp apple, pear and citrus characteristics, while vineyards closer to Yountville yield Chardonnay with a rich texture and tropical fruit aromas and flavors. Winemaker Laurie Hook chose complementary lots from each of these vineyards to craft a wine that exhibits bright fruit, richness and complexity, hallmark expressions of Napa Valley terroir.


What Does It Taste Like?

Beringer's Napa Valley Chardonnay is a quintessential expression of this beautiful varietal and the depth of flavors it can exhibit. Flavors of ripe citrus and apple are accented by aromas of toffee, tangerines and orange blossom. The mouth-coating, round texture highlights the rich flavors, all balanced by bright, refreshing notes that linger into the finish.


Ratings & Reviews

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2010 Chardonnay offers good up-front fruit and an accessible, easygoing personality. Layers of tropical fruit, smoke and licorice wrap around the finish. About 60% of the wine was allowed to go through malolactic fermentation. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2013.

Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (2009 vintage)
Pale bright yellow.  Pure aromas of musky nectarine, grapefruit and pineapple.  Boasts good thickness and richness for a chardonnay in this price range; the dominant characteristic is lively stone fruit flavors.  Finishes with good length.  Only 35% of this wine went through malolactic fermentation, and the wine got only 25% new oak aging.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
(2009 vintage)
"One of the best buys in the Chardonnay marketplace remains Beringer�s 2009 Chardonnay Napa. In fact, I would rank it right up there with Kendall-Jackson�s 2009 Vintner�s Reserve. Beringer�s offering shows elegant white peach and honeysuckle notes in a crisp, medium-bodied style. What is surprising is how much flavor and intensity they have been able to build into this wine, which probably can be found discounted to $12 a bottle."
