Beringer Private Reserve Chardonnay Napa Valley 2022

Critical acclaim:

"96 points. The 2022 Beringer Private Reserve Chardonnay, sourced from Gamble Ranch and Big Ranch vineyards, showcases Napa Valley's essence. Grown in Oakville AVA's cool climate, the grapes, predominantly Wente Clone 4 from 1976 vines, maintain acidity. Blending with fruit from Oak Knoll's Big Ranch imparts a refreshing influence, enhanced by Burgundy clones. This vibrant Chardonnay reveals perfumed floral notes, a creamy palate with pomelo, pineapple, and mango layers, balanced oak, and a hint of minerality. The result is a luscious, full-bodied expression, culminating in a refreshing finish with depth." - James Suckling
