Beringer Chardonnay Private Reserve 2016
Napa Valley, California, United StatesGamble Ranch is the fruit source for Beringer’s Private Reserve Chardonnay. It is just outside the town of Yountville, at the limit for modern chardonnay in my view. 2017 is a big fat chardonnay hit by three heat spikes that have impacted a lot of Napa white wines. This wine had been tracking in a different direction, so I'm going to chalk it up to the vintage rather than any deliberate turn around in style at Beringer. If you are a fan of crème brûlée, pineapple, and sweet tropical fruit this is it. Many will like this wine and it's scoring well in the US market but it’s not a wine I have a lot of interest in drinking with food.Tasted: 02 November 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $57.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
