Winemaker's Notes:

A tribute to three centuries of winemaking excellence, this collection reflects Beringer’s time-honored heritage. Each wine has been expressly crafted to inspire today’s discerning palate as it forms a bridge between past, present and future. With Third Century, the oldest continuously operating winery in the Napa Valley invites a new generation to experience the timeless pleasure of Beringer wines.

This fully integrated wine delivers the brightest and most sought-after characteristics of a great Chardonnay. Tropical aromas and flavors with hints of green apples and juicy pears delight the palate while balanced acidity and hints of oak deliver a smooth, satisfying finish.

About Beringer Vineyards:

Established in 1876, Beringer has a history of exploring the unique characteristics of fruit from its Napa Valley estate vineyards. Since 1977, winemaker Edward Sbragia has combined Cabernet Sauvignon from a handful of these select vineyards with small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Merlot to make his Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. When one varietal in one vineyard produces outstanding results, Sbragia chooses to bottle it separately.
