About Beringer
Beringer is one of Napa Valley’s historic names. Jacob and Frederick Beringer founded the estate in St. Helena in 1876, shortly after arriving in California from Germany. The property, with its distinctive nineteenth-century Rhine House, remains the historic centre of the winery. Beringer is regarded as one of Napa Valley’s oldest operating wineries and built its reputation through both ageworthy, classically shaped Cabernet and widely available California wines.
Its core is Napa Valley, where temperature, soil and elevation change markedly from one district to another. Beringer works with appellations including Knights Valley, Howell Mountain, Spring Mountain District, Rutherford and Los Carneros. Warm valley sites and sheltered slopes give Cabernet Sauvignon ripe fruit and structure; elevated vineyards, including those on Howell Mountain, generally bring greater tension and firmer tannins. Cooler Los Carneros is especially well suited to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. For wines carrying broader origins such as North Coast, Central Coast and Paso Robles, the winery may draw fruit from a wider part of California.
The house deliberately varies its style by range. Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is its reference wine: a concentrated Napa Cabernet, commonly showing cassis, dark plum, cedar, spice and the capacity to develop in bottle. Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, often known as the White Label, and Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon place greater emphasis on named regional origin, in a more approachable yet still structured form. Founders’ Estate includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Zinfandel and Pinot Noir in a ripe, immediately enjoyable California style. White Zinfandel is light, fruity and often gently sweet.
There are also blends and more experimental-looking lines, such as Q Red Blend and Beringer Bros. Bourbon Barrel Aged Cabernet Sauvignon or Red Blend. The latter combine ripe red fruit with notes reminiscent of vanilla, sweet spice and toasted wood. Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Syrah, Malbec and Sauvignon Blanc are used mainly as blending components or for selected separate bottlings. Beringer’s historic identity is distinctly Californian; where a catalogue lists Argentina or Mendoza, the origin on the label of the individual wine is worth checking.
