Always a great blind taste, big, buttery, classic Napa Chardonnay.

Rock steady - actually a great buy for so much substance.

Muito bom. Um dos melhores Chardonnay que já bebi. Bastante frutado com tons tropicais, bem balançado e com um ligeiro tom de Carvalho.

From a 2012 successful harvest this “Chardo” is no exception of a classical Napa Valley showcase. Opened at 55 degrees for inviting botanical, and subtlety toasted aromas. Mouthfeel incredibly light no oak for instance… bwell balanced for that peach, pineapple, and all that ripe baked fruit like that fruit tartars from that famous French Bakery. Ten years later it does stand to be drinkable now, not later than 2023

So much butter! Not your average Chardonnay. One for those who want to experience the versatility of Chardonnay.

Got it for a buck above wholesale and was jazzed.

I visited the Beringer winery this past summer and had a fantastic experience. This is an outfit that knows what they're doing.

Nice to try a wine from one of the state's oldest and reputable producers thats not fodder for cougars at a Tupperware party. Fascinating to try different wines from a winery that dabbles mostly in quantity vs quality these days.

One of my favorite bottles, big pear, butter, and vanilla flavors. So easy to drink and beautifully balanced.
