Wild
Beringer Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Bursting with native lavender, thyme and boysenberry, this is a focused, bright and very drinkable wine. Pair it with hearty southern classics like smoked meats and pulled pork.
Beringer Knights Valley Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
This wine is made from select lots and barrels with the intention of creating a cabernet that reflects the unique qualities of the Knights Valley AVA. Dark violet in color with aromas of black cherry and fresh sage, fresh flavors of black currant and crème de cassis cordial are supported by warm notes of cinnamon and vanilla bean.
Refined
Beringer Private Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Built around a core of Howell Mountain fruit, this cabernet is deeply saturated in color and exhibits a remarkable backbone and structure. A palate of fresh, ripe black fruits is supported by notes of dark chocolate and graphite.
Beringer Private Reserve Chardonnay
A classic example of a Napa chardonnay, this wine is layered, creamy and complex. Expressive aromas of citrus blossom and jasmine combine with notes of ripe tropical fruit and white nectarine. Well-integrated oak shows notes of vanilla and ginger spice that lead to a long, mouth-watering finish.
