Napa Valley Vineyards

2006 Napa Valley Chardonnay

The Beringer Napa Valley Vineyards 2006 Chardonnay is a remarkable expression of this iconic region. This white wine showcases a medium body that offers a delightful richness without being overpowering. The acidity is bright and refreshing, providing a crisp character that balances perfectly with the fruit-forward profile. Aromas of ripe apple, pear, and subtle tropical fruits draw you in, while hints of vanilla and toasty oak from aging in French barrels add complexity. Although it leans towards dry, the seamless integration of fruit and oak creates a harmonious and enjoyable experience on the palate. This Chardonnay embodies the elegance and sophistication that Napa Valley is renowned for, making it a splendid choice for both casual gatherings and formal occasions.

It may be small, but when it comes to American wine regions, they do not come much bigger than Napa County. Home to the famous Napa Valley, which comprises most of its area, the Napa name has gained global recognition for its exceptional wines—especially its Bordeaux varieties. Most Napa County wineries choose to be more location-specific when labeling their wine, listing the name of sub-regions like Yountville, Los Carneros or Rutherford to capitalize on the name recognition. However, with such an abundance of high-quality grapes grown across the region, plenty of négociant winemakers blend fruit from different sub-regions. This gives Napa County wines excellent regional balance, taking advantage of different terroirs and mesoclimates.
