Napa Valley Vineyards

2006 Napa Valley Chardonnay

The Beringer Napa Valley Vineyards Chardonnay from the 2006 vintage is a delightful expression of this iconic varietal, showcasing the richness and complexity that the Napa Valley region is renowned for. Its pale golden hue invites you in, while the aroma bursts with lively notes of green apple, pear, and hints of tropical fruit, enveloped in a subtle touch of vanilla and toasted oak that adds depth and elegance. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, offering a refreshing acidity that balances beautifully with the fruit intensity, creating a mouthwatering experience that lingers. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, ensuring a smooth and harmonious finish. This Chardonnay is perfectly food-friendly, making it an excellent choice for pairing with seafood dishes, creamy pasta, or simply enjoying on its own.

Napa Valley

Napa gained international acclaim following the Judgement of Paris in 1976, when its wines defeated its French counterparts in a blind tasting. Napa's signature wines are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and various Bordeaux blends, but many other varieties, such as Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc also thrive here. With 16 sub-AVAs and a Mediterranean climate with rich geology, Napa is a winemaker's dream. The winegrowing region runs between the Mayacamas Mountains and Vaca Mountains for 30 miles, from Calistoga to Los Carneros. Napa has a wide array of soil types for such a small region, from volcanic foothills to alluvial valley floors, which help to produce varied and complex wines.
